Seriously, the taglines just write themselves for this one. Fancy-pants sunless tanning-lotion company Aqua Tan announced today that it has “acquired proprietary rights to patent-pending skin care products formulated with sacred and holy water” [italics added] from the “Healing Grotto of Lourdes in the French Pyrenees.” Seems the founder of the company developed skin cancer a few years back, and was given some of the water by a friend. We can only assume the outcome was good, and now she wants to share the magic. Far be it from us to disparage anyone’s faith (Mrs. Thompson may’ve raised some ugly kids, but she didn’t raise any STUPID ones.), but the addition of the fabled water seems just a tad disingenuous to these skeptical eyes. Add in the price of $45 for a 50ml bottle, and we’ll stick with the old “Irish-tanning” method of burn, then peel; burn, then peel. Why argue with success?
