Get Motivated


I was going to let the staff of The Far North End spread the word about this, seeing as they were the ones who tipped off the Beat It, Nerd offices, but I haven't seen mention of it over there yet so I'm stealing his thunder: Ladies and gentlemen, can I interest you in Despair.com's Motivational Poster Generator!

If you're not familiar with Motivational Posters, you probably don't work in an office. Traditionally, they're black-bordered images of some tranquil or interesting scene, with one large word printed beneath the image, and smaller text about said word below that. For example (taken straight from a real M.P.), "Perserverance: What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve." Underneath a picture of a dude hanging off a cliff, no less. In short, they're the 21st century-equivalent of those "Hang In There" cat posters.


In retaliation, Despair.com launched its own line of "Demotivators," a.k.a. the Bizarro Superman version of M.P.s. Now, they've taken it one step further by letting YOU create whatever kind of motivational or demotivational poster you want -- sky's the limit, baby, and it's all free!

And yes, the ones that accompany this post are my own creations (click 'em for larger versions). Have fun making your own!
