Midget's Friends Short-Sheet Bed, Prank Goes Unnoticed

Franklin, TN - Every now and then here at the Whimiscal World I like to highlight websites that make me chuckle. One I have known about for some time is an absolute classic. The website is called www.despair.com. The company has proclaimed an all out war on the motivational poster industry by publishing a line of demotivational posters called Demotivators. Each poster contains a dramatic photo with a line or two that really pulls the rug out from under you. Here are some examples:

- ACHIEVEMENT (Under a picture of the Great Pyramids of Egypt) "You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision, determination, and an endless supply of expendable labor. "

-DARE TO SLACK (Under a picture of birds migrating) "When birds fly in the right formation, they need only exert half the effort. Even in nature, teamwork results in collective laziness."

-DESPAIR (Under a picture of a sunset) "It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black."

-WINDS OF CHANGE (Under a picture of a tornado) "When the winds of change blow hard enough, the most trivial of things can become deadly projectiles."

And a classic...

-INDIFFERENCE (Under a picture of a sleeping leopard) "It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face."

The company's trademarked logo is :-( So technically I can never use that symbol again :-( Check out www.despair.com. You can buy calendars and all kinds of cool stuff. I have attached a few below so you get the idea. Their webpage has piles of these, perfect for slacking off at work, ironically.

That's the story of my life...
