Ed, you can offer the same information without the attitude and get a welcome reception. Welcome Ed!

In my own country? I can’t possibly know what’s going in the Netherlands ALL the time, nor Canada.

And why so sour? It’s just a programme.

fake polaroids are ghastly and anyone who thinks they look “real” has obviously never seen a real polaroid. I’m sure the inventor is a nice person but he’s responsible for lots of idiots posting “fake polaroids” in places like flickr claiming they’re real.

btw Mare, polaroid film and cameras ARE being made again. when your google is functioning again, search for “impossible project.”

I’m surprised they can use the name Polaroid and that they use the iconic format of the Polaroid photos (square picture framed with a larger strip of white below it) without getting sued for patent/copyright infringement. I read Polaroid sued other people using this before (but my Google fu is lacking at the moment).

But maybe they don’t care anymore since they don’t make the film nor the cameras anymore. And apparently Polaroid doesn’t have a patent on the faded colours…
