RIP Polaroid

quote:
Polaroid has announced it's ceasing production of its instant film, which will become unavailable after 2009.

*rip*

Years from now, my son may accidentally stumble upon a racy little collection of my ex-girlfriends in their full glory... This is how I see the conversation:
- "Dad, what are these?"
- "Son, these are pictures of my ex-girlfriends, before they became saggy, cellulite-riddled, plaid-dressing, unattractive home-makers."
- "No, dad, not the girls - what are these pieces of paper?"
- "Son, before our digital holo-albums, digital paper, even before digital cameras, there was once a company called "Polaroid". They came about in an era of another archaic and now defunct technology called "film". Polaroid was a wonderful company - it allowed horny teenagers like me to take picture mementos of their love interests, without having to submit the film for processing. This saved them an embarassement or quimsical looks from the photo developer... or even a possible questioning by the authorities. The Polaroid company made a camera, which created these pictures instantly. These papers you're holding are called "Polaroids", after the camera that made them."
-"Yeah, but why not a full scale holo-scan with sensory download, so you can bone her any time you like dad? I got an archive of like 30 of my exes, which I get to bone whenever I want. Hell, I even did a holo of my exe's dog, just for shits and gigles... and then 3DT'd (3d texting, with imaging in 3D) her the money shot! In retrospect, may have been inappropriate, but Mikey and I were super-stoned on that AngelMethaDustCrackaineExtasy-tron... so, we weren't thinking straight." he'd say.
"I'd say - we didn't have all this fancy-shmancy technology you punks have, we had to make do with these tiny pictures and out of focus shots, while manually stimulating ourselves in between the ACTUAL act of INTERCOURSE, not the SIMS you bastards are running! Don't you kids actually touch or see each other anymore??"
- "Nooooo way dad, ewwww! You're sooo gross and antiquated! Ok, gotta jet, have a WOW orgy at 3! Later, old man!"
-"Bye son, be safe!" I'll say with regret, as I make way to the shower and think of old times, while fapping...

The end.

You think so???? Department of child protective services disagreed. I mean c'mon! You give a kid one stinkin' line of primo-grade Columbian marching powder and they get all up in arms about it! Talk about blowing things out of proportion! Talk about drawing a line in the sand! Talk about saying hello to my little friend!

wait, what were we talking about?

It was an important invention in the history of photography

RIP indeed

I seem to remember they went away a while ago and then arbitrarily came back once digital photography became the bees knees. They'll be back, meanwhile I'll keep jammin' out to my bitchin' Sega Saturn.

No, fail. The didn't come back - they just licensed their names to generic manufacturers. Read the article and do some research. The company is just a brand name now, with no products they actually make.

cheers.

polaroids or STFU

speaking of asses, I think Polaroid name would be a great name for describing a medical condition of someone who has colon polyps and hemoroids. A doctor's diagnosis would read like this: "After careful evaluation, it has been determined that patient is experiencing an accute case of polaroids"
