How do you get that effect?

This photo.net query is either pretty hilarious, a sad commentary on the age, or both. (link via markd on twitter) Of course, there are obvious parallels to this question in the audio-nerd world, where novice recordists often ask “which plugin/software will make my recordings sound like artist/producer X” — ignoring performance, technique, instrument, room, microphones, mic placement, and preamplification. For some reason, though, reading this recalled this classic Onion article for me.

Thanks for pointing this out. I got a good laugh out of it. To me, the funniest part is the matter of fact response. “It is not a PS effect. It’s a long exposure shot.” I picture the person smacking his head thinking, “Why do I even have to write this?”
