Sunblock FAILS: Where SPF Meets WTF (PHOTOS)

Summer is officially here, so when you make your inaugural visit to the beach, make sure you don't forget that oh-so-important bottle of sunblock. And even more importantly, make sure you don't miss a spot or two (or ten). Protection is obviously the number one reason to use the stuff, but if that's not enough, just take a look at these unfortunate/daring folks below who got the kind of "custom" tans you pay for in pain instead of cash.

Whether from lack of sunscreen, precariously placed bathing suits or ridiculous pranks, these people all ended up with what one site refers to as tanning disasters. No argument here!

I thought #14 said, "when she starts peeing" and that was worth checking this article.

I remember wearing jellies back in the day and getting those interesting patterns on my foot by evening. Did anybody else get that?

Sure I cracked a smile, but more because I'm picturing entries in a future editions of 'Darwin Awards' than because any of these were actually funny.

Apparently sun block also prevents the brain from UV damage.

#7 happens to just about all cyclists. A lot of guys pull their shorts to the same place every time they ride to avoid the layer cake effect.

"Guy must've been wearing the same pair of skin-tight short shorts for a month to get a tan line like tha."

Yeah, it's called cycling. Some of us ride for months at a time. I have those same lines, and there's not much you can do about it.

Those sunburn patterns will ripen into melanoma patterns. Good times!

Creative yes. To burn yourself to that point can cause cancer later in life. But it was funny to look the pictures.
