Outkast smash hit causes concern for Polaroid experts From the NME website:
NEGATIVE VIBES! Lyrics in OUTKAST 's worldwide smash hit 'HEY YA' is causing concern amongst POLAROID experts. Though the song urges people to "shake it like a Polaroid picture", a spokesperson for the self developing pictures says that 'shaking it' may damage your picture. "Almost everybody does it, thinking that shaking accelerates the development process," said a Polaroid spokesman to CNN. "But if you shake it too vigorously you could distort the image. A casual shake typically doesn't affect it." The image, which dries behind a clear plastic window, so never actually touches the air, is best laid flat, and away from the wind, advises the Polaroid website. Andre 3000 told NME.COM: ""That’s true, a photographer friend of mine told me that.. he said it messes up the 'something' and it was a cool word that I could have added to the song! I can’t remember what it was though but it was a cool word."  I realy am fond of this guy now  ..... BULLSEYE!  | |

From what I've heard, Polariod has been having problems recently (surely do to the fact that digital cameras are more affordable). I'm sure "Hey Ya!" is helping them out quite a bit! | |
