collusion to ruin photographs   (quote)

" Of course, "lay it on a flat surface like a Polaroid picture," doesn't sound nearly as cool."
  -reuters via yahoo

If Outkast was indeed paid (in advance) to include the "shake it like a Polaroid picture" reference in Hey Ya, that could be construed as an attempt to cause consumers to screw up their Polaroid film and therefore need to buy more. I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but this one is just too obvious to overlook. I smell a class-action lawsuit and a half! Even Jay-Z chimes in on the topic:

Rap mags try and use my black ass
So advertisers can give em more cash for ads... fuckers
I don't know what you take me as
or understand the intellegence that Jay-Z has
