Well as President and CEO of Polaroid, I must say that I am very unhappy with this metaphor.
My company spent years developing the process whereby the
chemicals (Silver Nitrate and Amalagams of light and photo sensitive manganese oxides) spread out over the surface of the film, and the positive image appears a few seconds to minutes later. The chemicals have time delays built into them so that each layer of the film can be processed in the correct order
In point of fact, you do not need to shake the polaroid picture and I would thank you to stop quoting this line.
Does anyone know who has propogated this line?
My corporate lawyers are gonna take someone to the cleaners over this slur of our brand

I hope you can shake your wrongdoer. I understand it can be very upsetting and annoying. Sorry it is happening to you.

I worked in the Aussie film industry for 10 years,, (behind the cameras) and seem to remember on the set of Mad Max Three where Tina Turner was dressed in silver chain mail riding on a rail car through the desert in western New South Wales,, the director of photography turned to George Miller (Director) and said those now infamous and apparently libellous words "She shakes it like a Polaroid picture"
So it originated downunder

I believe you are refering to the Outkast song "heya" or something like that. And no. I do not shake it like a polaroid picture, however my milk shake brings all the boys to the yard. And their like, it's better than yours. I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.
Why hasn't Yahoo! confirmed you as "the real ceo of polaroid"? Hmm... a pity.

I think most people get it confused with an Etch-a-Sketch. All those years of shaking 'em over their heads.
Does the polaroid develop fast if you shake it over your head? Or is it over my head? Hmmmm....

President and CEO, huh? No CEO knows that much about their own product! And no one has an answer? That would be Andre of Outkast.

I wouldn't know, as I never shake my Polaroid pictures. If you have any doubts about my possibly propagating this line, have your people talk to my people. ;)

I have never shaken a Polariod picture, I think you are suppose to set them down and keep them separate until they develop.
