Blame Scottsdale's bar-to-resident ratio, its history with failed reality television series, or the clear lack of "super hot" adulterers in any other part of the city for its new title:

The No. 1 Cheating Neighborhood in Phoenix.

Results were tallied by USA Today according to membership per capita to the online affair service AshleyMadison.com, whose slogan "Life is short. Have an affair" has caught the eyes of media outlets across the country and has signed on more than 14 million anonymous users around the world.

Thanks to New Jersey's Patricia Krentcil: Five Reasons You (and Your 5-Year-Old) Should Stay out of the Tanning Bed

Patricia Krentcil and her daughter
In this week's prime example of great parenting and self-awareness, 44-year-old Patricia Krentcil of New Jersey was arrested and charged with with felony child endangerment after she allegedly took her daughter to a local tanning salon and put her in one of the booths.

While she denies allowing her daughter into the tanning bed, she does say her 5-year-old was in the room with her and had a sunburn the next day from playing outside. "It's like taking your daughter to go food shopping," Krentcil said. "There's tons of moms that bring their children in."

New Jersey state law prohibits children under the age of 14 from entering tanning booths and specifies that children between the ages of 14 and 17 must be accompanied by an adult. That said, skin like Krentcil's is just one of many reasons why anyone (and everyone) should spare themselves from the hotbox.
