Yesterday, I emailed a few friends this helpfile from Polaroid Customer Support, which answers the burning question, "Should I really shake it 'like a Polaroid picture'?" Watching CNN at the gym this morning, I saw that the network had picked up the story, reporting Polaroid's advice without a shred of irony. This struck me as ironic, since I assumed that the helpfile, like this one from Compaq regarding the location of the "Any Key," was an in-joke for the aumusement of support personnel.

The story notes Polaroid photos should be placed on a flat surface as they develop. Moreover, the story contends, 'lay it on a flat surface like a Polaroid picture,' doesn't sound nearly as cool." I beg to disagree: I can totally imagine an R. Kelly song with the lyrics, "I want to lay you on a flat surface like a Polaroid picture."
