Ah, summer – it’s the perfect time for cheap beer and barbecues, sleeping in, and tanning by the pool.

It’s also prime burning time if you spend a little too much time doing that last thing. (It’d be great if someone invented something… to protect your skin… from the sun… like, maybe sunscreen?)

…And then some people are just stupid. Like these people. Because they didn’t just fall asleep in the sun – they practically walked on it. And they have the bright red burns to prove it.
