Tanning salon marketing

I really don't get the marketing strategy here:



Where did salons manage to make the link between people liking to tan and giant animal costumes with fluorescent jackets?

This is the best that i could come up with,

Tanning -> Orange skin -> Flourescent jacket?
Tanning -> Appearance -> Looking like and animal?

Hmmmm....

Dubbing

I keep seeing this annoying TV advert so it's time for a blog post on it. Neutrogena is a well established brand so i dont know why they cant afford to get their adverts dubbed correctly. Watch and you'll see what i mean:



She doesn't even pronounce all of the words... 'Now i can ....(?) goodbye the blackheads'

To me it just feels like it's laziness. There must be an excuse why some adverts do this, but i am yet to find out. For the time being i will remain annoyed and frustrated at these particular adverts. (There's a bit of a toiletry theme) Here's a few more:
