Greetings!

For those familiar with despair.com's work, you need no further introduction. Otherwise, these are the folks that create the products / images that spoof those ultra sappy motivational posters that big corporations tend to hang in the halls during "quality festivals".

The userid/password for the site during the "preview blackout period" is VALID/CREDITCARD. This was made available to everyone on their mailing list, so it is not really too secret...

Individuality: Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else.

I love their stuff and often use it for wallpaper. Right now I have a picture of the Despair poster on my computer.

For some reason it's asking me for a password to view their site... I know I've visited it before...

Ummm, from Pauls original post: " The userid/password for the site during the "preview blackout period" is VALID/CREDITCARD."

Wow. I have had the demotivators calendar in my cube for the last three years, but the one about Flattery might be a little too "steamy" for my workplace.

But, I ordered it anyway. Tells you how much I care about my job.

My personal favorite is

"If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job.... The kind robots will be doing soon."

ROFLMAO!!!

I like their disclaimer for downloading their screensaver:

In reply to:

Despair Is not liable for demotions, job transfers or terminations that might come about in response to use of this screensaver in the workplace. In the unlikely event that the use of this screensaver directly or indirectly results in unexpected job advancement or increased compensation, Despair is directly responsible and expects a royalty sharing agreement with the customer for the duration of that person's professional life.

Thank You Paul, Those are some very funny, and all too true statements. I'm afraid that I am conjuring up visions of covert trips to the office to administer a little demotivating along the hallway to the bosses office. How Funny!

I dream of one day owning my own company and seriously decorating the offices with every one of those posters.
