I am sure everyone is familiar with the motivational posters that seemed to be on every office wall for a while there. Well, out of these grew the even more enlightening 'De-motivational' posters which for most of us were much easier to relate to and live up to.
I don't know about you but I was never going to be inspired to achieve and overcome by a poster of someone standing on top of.... more »
