Demotivators Can Be Rib Ticklers

You’ve seen the inspirational photos, posters, and other products that give you a reason to carry on. They can give you hope, encouragement — words of wisdom to lead you down your path to success.

But sometimes you need a dose of reality and to have someone tell it like it is. That’s where Demotivators comes in. Just like the inspirational company, this one cuts through to the core of the matter and aims straight for the funny bone.

Here are a few examples:

On Ambition: The journey of a thousand miles sometimes ends very, very badly

On Change: When the winds of change blow hard enough, the most trivial of things can become deadly projectiles.

On Consistency: It’s only a virtue if you’re not a screwup.

These are real products. The photos look just like the motivator versions and come in a variety of sizes.

You know, Father’s Day is coming up.
