One of the first jobs I had straight out of high school was School Pictures Inc. Our job was take all the grade school to high school photos, sometimes college ID photos. We also did the proms and special events. One of the things we were supposed to do was "upsell" or "upgrade" parents to get the awesome super duper package, which included a nature back drop or the duo magic black velvet floating head image.

A friend sent me this link to a collection of such photos

I'm not sure what was funnier to me, the photos or the witty jabs. Either way I was in tears! So I sent it to another friend who is a DJ for a public radio station (He does the morning jazz show), we had been talking about these very types of photos just the day before. He said he pulled up the page on the station computer screen, then went to the mic to read the news. He caught the first image out of the corner of his eye and lost it on air. Now I'm in trouble... ruh roh!
