MOTIVATION. Psychology tells us that motivation- true, lasting motivation- can only come from within. Common sense tells us it can’t be manufactured or productized. So how is it that a multi-billion dollar industry thrives through the sale of motivational commodities and services? Because, in our world of instant gratification, people desperately want to believe that there are simple solutions to complex problems. And when desperation has disposable income, market opportunities abound.
AT DESPAIR, INC., we believe motivational products create unrealistic expectations, raising hopes only to dash them. That’s why we created our soul-crushingly depressing Demotivators® designs, so you can skip the delusions that motivational products induce and head straight for the disappointments that follow!

Here are some fo my favorites… darkly humorous, crushingly depressing, and undeniably cynical… sounds right up my alley!
(for every winner, there are dozens of losers. odds are you’re one of them.)
(when your best just isn’t good enough)
(love is in the air. and it’s pooping on my head.)
Well, hope you enjoyed that. Now go read something by Joel Osteen or Dr. Phil to make you feel good about yourself again.
