Byron, why would you photoshop your image over the only guy in the cast who (eventually) came out of the closet? Not there is anything wrong with it!

Got than done at the Star-Trek exhibit in Vegas..

The man on the right is not a man of color... That's Jay Cutler, going to or coming form a body building contest. They rub themselves in with some stuff that gives them a darker color. This will show more muscularity and definition when competing...
He's a white guy, like the one on the left...





That is not a breadstick with boobs on his right, just a very skinny chick....

But why,

Is it considered somehow healthy to look like the victim of an accident in a creosote plant

Have you ever seen the make-up on someone that's been on stage at a theater in a play up close. They don't look that odd from a distance under harsh light, but under normal conditions, the make-up looks bizarre.

The dark tan look accentuates muscular definition. If you are competing, trying to show that you have better/bigger/more definition/muscles than everyone else on stage, then you need to look like you have a dark tan. It's just something they apply for competitions.
