Hey Hawaii, you've already got beautiful weather and women, how about sharing some with the rest of us? Much like the "brown paper bag" test during the Civil Rights era, Hawaii has instituted a "golden bronzed" test...where if your skin can't get dark from tanning, you're out!

Story: Iguana on Loose Triggers Hawaii School Lockdown
