Slip, Slop, Slap, Slap, Slap!
But it is the way they are pushing this down our throats that is seriously p*** me off!
I know that we have discussed the roll of a dice, but this AU, ad, basically says if you go out in the sun, and enjoy yourself, get some exercise, and other harmful stuff, then over time, ANYONE CAN GET SKIN CANCER!!!!!
Unless you do what the girl does, and avoid the sun and get around with a hat, sunglasses and long sleve shirt and of course pour on 15+ which is $30 a tube. Of course we don't see how she ends up, in ten years time, probably clinically depressed, with vitamin D deficient diseases, and seeing the doctor!
Biggest load of BS, l have ever heard!
This article, based on a ton of studies, (scroll down) pretty much shows how, fear based advertising, which doesn't address what a lack of sunshine does to you, is doing!

These campaigns have been quite effective (Cancer Council Victoria, 2012), and perhaps have had unintended consequences. It is becoming increasingly evident that we are facing an epidemic of vitamin D deficiencies, with 30% of Australians reportedly lacking the required levels (Daly et al., 2012). Vitamin D is delivered via sunlight and is essential for healthy ageing. It is estimated that 30-50% of Australians– and Saudi Arabians, Emarati, Turks, Indians and Lebanese – are vitamin D deficient (Holick, 2007: 267). While inhabitants of these other countries cover-up for culturaland religious reasons, Australians presumably do soto protect themselves from the harsh dangers of the sun, having been subjected to compelling campaigns thatencourage this behaviour for almost 30 years. Research into vitamin D deficiency suggests that the consequences are severe. Osteopor osis, congestive heart failure,multiple sclerosis (Holick, 2004), some cancers (Garland et al., 2009) and depression (Berk et al., 2008) have all been linked with vitamin D deficiencies. Holick (2008: 1548) argues that increasing sun exposure actually reduces the risk of contracting certain cancers. |
Staying out of the sun is likely to be an effective way of reducing the risk of developing skin cancer. Yet the Australian advertisements simplify the complexity of the problem. They lack information about the consequences of getting too little sun exposure. The graphic, visual aspects of these advertisements that show medical procedures and obituaries of young people who have perished because of their sun exposure has the potential to create excessive fear of a disease that one is not likely to ever contract. |
“incomplete, partial and selective”, |
The last part pretty much wraps up what l have been saying for years. Medical Media, wraps up truth with lies, so people will stay clinically ill, and buy their s*** for the rest of their lives!
If this guy in the ad, (US residents let me know if you can't see it) was burning on a regular bases, then l would agree, but, (as far as l can tell he isn't) so they are saying, go out into the sun for any length, and you could die, horribly and leave your poor girlfriend to rear your child all by herself.
And most likely Slip, Slop, Slap, blah, the poor kid so much, he or she will get rickets, and depression, etc!
Society is going from F*** up to serious Nazi State F***up!
What is next? Being born is bad for your health!
Every day you live is adding up, and anyone can die from being alive, duh!
If l run into a gov, ACC rep, slapping would be the least of what l would do!
