TanTastic!

Over 30,000 people have signed up to a web site offering to let them pick up a tan from their computer monitor without realising that it was a marketing ploy to publicise a skin cancer charity.

On offer was a "free trial" of a program claiming to give the user a tan simply by using a screensaver with technical-looking bars that resembled a sun bed.
