The Wailing List – The Special Edition Calendars
Introducing the Special-Edition Build-Your-Own-Calendar.
Your Designs. Your Dates. And Now, Your Choice of Four Prints.
With our characteristically obnoxious sense of poor timing, Despair is pleased to unveil yet another permutation of our Build-Your-Own-Calendar- The Special Edition.
This 12-month calendar includes all the standard exciting features you’ve come to grudgingly admire in our Build-Your-Own-Calendars- but that’s not all. It also includes four premium-quality 8.5″ x 11.5″ Demotivator prints of your choosing- for only $5.00 more!
But WHY couldn’t we have introduced this version when we rolled out the prior one, since a lot of you already plopped down the money for a 12-month calendar and can’t justify buying another one just because there’s a compelling new model? I ask myself the same question every single time Steve Jobs opens his mouth… (The short answer is, as always, because your credit card has unlimited potential, even if you don’t.)
Too lazy to wrap your presents? Too cheap to buy a nice mailing box? We’ve got you covered! Pick up some of our stylish Calendar Gift Mailers by clicking here.
Hey, and speaking of companies with a history of being less-than-straight about release dates, guess what Despair DIDN’T release last month? That’s right- the latest Despair Video. All we have, a week after the supposed release date, is a preview, and only in Quicktime, no less!
“Self-Narratives”
Another delayed release from our vaunted Product Development group
People keep e-mailing annoyed inquiries about it to me by replying to the last Wailing List. (Like I’ve got some sort of inside scoop as the lowest-ranking employee of the only marginally respected Marketing Department?) All I know is that the Brahmins in Product Development keep telling the rest of us, “It’ll be out this month… For real this time.” Okay, sure- why not? (But if you guys don’t do it, maybe I’ll just shoot a video of a day in the life of an underappreciated marketing peon at Despair, and drop that beets right on YouTube… Don’t push me, guys… You know I’ll do it… )
