We're not satisfied until you're not satisfied.

Don't worry! That is not my attitude at work. It is, however, the slogan for a "Demotivator" at despair.com. They are basically parodies of the motivational posters that started coming out a few years ago with the picture and then a caption at the bottom. If you click on the link above, I have a feeling you will know exactly what I am talking about. Now, whenever I see an actual motivational poster I keep expecting a snarky caption at the bottom and it surprises me when the caption is actually sincere. Maybe it's just my dark sense of humour but the snarkiness of some of the demotivators really amuse me. Here are some of my favourites:

Desair.com also has amusing T-Shirts as well as other rather amusing products. I highly recommend looking through the website. So today's favourite things are the "Demotivators" at Despair.com.

Apparently, I am quite susceptible to suggestion....

Yesterday, one of the websites I go to all the time had a post about the webseries, "The Guild". I had heard about the series about a year ago but I hadn't checked it out until last night. I ran through both series between last night and today. That sounds bad but the episodes are less than 10 minutes each. The series itself is about a group of online gamers that meet in real life. It's quite amusing especially if you are a gamer yourself (which I am not) or spend a lot of time online (which I do). It stars Felicia Day who was also in the awesome "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog" as well as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". It had me giggling quite a bit. If you are interested in the series, you can watch it at their website. It is definitely something worth checking out. Some of the terms they use, I do have to look up because I am not an online gamer but it's pretty accessible.
