The FDA wants to ban use of tanning beds by kids under 18, to fight skin cancer

@nimelennar

But how can you ban banning if banning is banned?

Unless, of course, the ban on banning banning is itself banded to the ban on banning.

I’m not sure that it’d be more than a band-aid fix, though.

Enough with the bickering! Don’t you know it’s Christmas?

I see what you did there. It took me a moment, though.

So you can ban them using sunbeds without banning them; get others to do the dirty work. Or was that the joke?

Australia bans commercial tanning beds

Seeing as several of the things that you listed aren’t actually banned, here is a little something about absinthe. Leopold Brothers make a great absinthe in Denver, and there are other distilleries in the U.S. that make it as well.

Whether it’s real absinthe that’s currently being made is highly debatable, as the stuff available in the US has less than half the thujone levels of traditional absinthe.

We don’t need no tanny state.

The formerly-good stuff, castrated for your safety, banned for long enough for the people to forget what it used to be.

Do-gooders, what to expect.
