why is Keira Knightley on this vid? did she have melanoma?

[BioNrd]

Keira Knightley has been a supporter of not tanning and using skin care protection. I don't know if my students placed her in this video for that reason or because they are three single guys and fans of Pirates.

@MrMesu9 Uhhhh Melanoma IS Cancer..

[MrMesu9]

Respond to this video...If Black keep mixing with white people they deserve skin cancer. 

[MrMesu9]

@kverzwyvelt Bob Marley died of cancer. Bob Marley father is a white man. Bob Marley was white like his father. You are of your father seed. If his father is a white man he is a white man with no soul.

Gentlemen, ...I thank you. Very much. My mother lost the good fight to this disease back in the 80's, and I'm at a very high risk of getting it myself. She was only 30 when she was diagnosed, and 34 when she passed. I'm now 36 and counting! Your video was informative and to-the-point. It also reflects how very much we have learned through cancer research about how to catch melanoma early and treat it once found to save lives. Maybe even my own, so again, I thank you!

Skin cancer eventually killed my grandfather. He had numerous bouts of skin cancer and all had them removed (we think the reason why he got skin cancer numerous times was because he grew up on a farm and he was a really vibrant redhead) The last cancer before he died had somhow traveled into his lungs and he ended up dying from it :(
