Tuna Can Jones

While we don't normally like to report non-football related news on our website, occasionally a "feel good" story comes across the TCJ news desk that is too good to pass up. On November 29th, our own "Seminole" Greg Harless traveled to the beautiful North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii to contend for Hawaiian Tropic's Mr. Tan in a Can. The company's new line of tan creams, gels and peroxide hair products, which debuted earlier this year had been slow sellers so the company hoped to increase market awareness by holding the Mr. Tan in a Can contest, which would operate as the male equivalent of the ultra-popular Ms. Hawaiian Tropic Pageant. Despite sporting an "all-over" full body orange tinted tan and peroxide highlighted hair, Greg didn't make it beyond the initial round of finalists, due to what Seminole termed as a "regional bias." He did however, get to perform in several of the contestant musical numbers and termed it "the dream of a lifetime." "I got to meet quite a few great dudes and we certainly plan to keep in touch." And there's always next year, Seminole.
