The Center for Artificial Indifference

U.S. Congress: Rule No. 1…

bickering This came from a despair.com ad. If you don’t know Despair, you should. You’re probably familiar with the rah-rah, pump it up, feel good, company, Successories, that has stores in malls around the country. They market all those wonderful posters and calendars and mugs that motivate us to give more than we have to achieve more than we are capable of. Well, Despair is a hilarious antithetical parody of that, recognizing our daily human struggles and limitations for what they are — a pain in the arse. They present their demotivators with tongue firmly planted in cheek, making them my kind of guys.

Go. Visit. Buy. Enjoy.

    I’ve seen that site before. They have some truly funny things there. Their faux training videos are not to be missed, either.

    25 years ago I tried to encode my files using PKI, but failed with DES pair ;-)

    I love this site. Muchos gracias for the tip. I want one of those demotivators on my studio wall; I’ve been way too motivated lately, and it’s taking a toll on my sleep. :-)
