Readership, something has come to my attention recently that has troubled me greatly. Allow me to explain.
I'm sure that all of you have heard of and seen the amazing gift God has given to the world, called "De-Motivational Posters." If not, a couple examples can be found here and here. A Google Image Search of "demotivational posters" would yield countless more beautiful examples.
These "De-Motivational Posters" have enriched the lives of many people since the genius who invented them introduced them to the world. Personally, I've been on the verge of tears, seen a De-Motivational Poster, and my frown was turned instantly upside-down as I laughed uncontrollably. They are hilarious, timeless, and most of all, fuckin' AWESOME.
But! Something eluded my perception. In the very naming of this funnybone-ticklery as a "DE-Motivational Poster," it follows logically that there must be a NON-de-Motivational Poster, or as the more grammatically inclined of us would say, a regular ol' Motivational Poster.
I did a quick Google Search.
And I was appalled.
What the fuck is this bullshit? Or this?
Does anybody honestly ever get motivated by this sorta shit? And then I did a little more digging, and found out that these posters are put up mostly in corporate-style office buildings.
What the fuck!?
I'm going to come to this same BULLSHIT dead-end job five days a week - maybe six! - for every week from now until my 65th birthday, at which point I'll most likely retire and due to the absolute shambles that Social Security is in currently, have to find another job to keep my house and keep food in my belly - BUT THANK GOD that there's that poster on the wall, telling me that persistence will help, and that aspiring to climb as high as I can dream is something I should be doing! Without that, I might just throw my ergonomic chair out my twelfth-story office window and then jump out after it!
Fuck!
This cognitive psych class is definitely not helping my good nature and sunny fucking disposition.
Wooo-sah. Wooo-sah.
Stay classy

True story:
ReplyDeleteI was walking through the office building where I work in the summers. And on the wall was a poster in the exact same style as above motivational posters. Except this poster was entitled "Success" and the "inspiriational quotes" was "Nothing suceeds like success." With a quote attribute and everything.
It's been an ongoing joke ever since I saw it.
Unbelievable.
True.story. Ha.
Hahahahaha that is beautiful. A testament to how stupid motivational posters are.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
