That site is simply brilliant. Just reading their introduction was enough to give me a good laugh.
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!
And here are some samples for your all your demotivating needs.
Note: These are screenshot cutouts of the site. I do not want to post the whole picture here as credit should be given to them. Give the site a visit to get even more demotivated!
perfect site to visit in epsonlab -.-

Unfortunately, I wasn’t the pure genius behind this site. If I was, I would have admitted it with great honour

Ermm… it’s quite old already, have seen it in my office 3 years ago…
It’s everywhere in my office, they bought the hardcopy type and put it on the walls…
Well, there’s one i love the most which I saw in my office, similar like yours, a picture with a ship, titled “Leadership”, quote: Even a small leak can sink a great ship”

Haha.. are you absolutely positively sure that the ones in your office are DE-motivational posters?
If they really are, hats off to your company for being so daring

These ones were made to look exactly like the original motivational posters… he might not have realised.
But because they look exactly like the real ones that’s why I find them so funny
