The axiom that truth is stranger than fiction is certainly applicable when considering the case of Patricia Krentcil (left) who was recently charged with child endangerment after allegedly taking her 5-year-old tanning which resulted in burns. Her leathery face, bronzed to the likeness of a museum exhibit, immediately prompted the image of Magda, the neighbor from "There's Something About Mary." I thought that character was too extreme to hold any currency in the real world, but she actually pales in comparison to Ms. Krentcil whose affinity for the tanning booth borders on a personality disorder. I'm guessing she logs like 100 hours a week under those lights. Running around looking like a minstrel singer is puzzling to say the least. Maybe she believes it's just a healthy glow, but her need to keep subjecting her skin to that harsh, damaging light reflects something amiss, a genetic mutation impeding common sense. I've seen corpses with better skin. Wouldn't you think someone at the tanning place would have cut her off, like a drunk at a bar who's had too many? Seriously, even the cast from Jersey Shore are saying WTF.
