Spoof website offering a tan through your computer attracts a million hits
A spoof website claiming to offer internet users a free year-round tan through their computer screens has attracted more than a million hits.
Computertan.com, set up two months ago to promote the work of a skin cancer charity, initially promises to ensure sun-worshippers "look great in the office" by transmitting ultraviolet rays into their homes.
But when users click to access a "free five-minute tan trial", bars from a sun bed appear on the screen with a message warning "Don't be fooled - UV Exposure Can Kill".
