Your Own Printed DIY Demotivator Posters
It’s Finally Here.
Since the unveiling of our awesome Do-It-Yourself tool- The Parody Motivator Generator- online audiences have generated literally hundreds of thousands of their own reliably unfunny parodies. But, every so often, to our amazement, something actually amusing has been produced as a result. Very, very occasionally, it’s actually even funny. Yet before today, it was impossible for the creator of an amusing parody to actually purchase a high-resolution printed poster of that design. And this has led to no shortage of complaints from our own population of the chronically dissatisfied.
But as of today, the complaints must stop. Because today, Despair is proud to announce the availability of purchasable, high-resolution 11″x14″ posters of your own DIY parodies!
And what’s more- as is occasionally our want- we’re making this new product available to our Wailing List audience at a discount off of its retail price of $12.95! Provided they are able to follow the most basic of instructions.
Anyone who uses the coupon code DIY during checkout will save $3 on their printed poster. That’s only $9.95 per print! And these aren’t printed on some cruddy old laserjet in some dingy little backroom in a dilapidated warehouse. These are printed on a half-million dollar HP 5000 Indigo MegaAwesomeElite Printer… In some dingy little backroom in a dilapidated warehouse. In short, they rock!
What, that’s still not enough for some of you? What do you want, to be PAID for buying stuff or something?
Well, if it gives you any extra motivation, I’ve heard rumors in the marketing department that exceptionally funny and original designs might have a chance to earn the creator $1,000 later this year when some sort of amateur parody competition gets announced.
Nobody will be involuntarily entered into a contest, mind you. But if you buy a funny poster, don’t be surprised if you get an email in a couple of months from some marketing intern asking you if you your design to be entered into the contest for a chance to win $1,000. Because it could happen. So get started now!
(Actually, I think they said several people could win $1,000 and maybe the grand prize was $5,000? But don’t quote me on that…. It’s still being argued about, mostly because the Product Development guys don’t want some contest winner to get paid more for a winning design than they get paid for an official Demotivator … But the Marketing Department wants to prove that the untapped creativity of the masses can produce brilliant works more quickly and cheaply than a stable of overpaid, snotty gen-xers. As an underpaid, snotty gen-xer who is more than familiar with what the “untapped creativity of the masses” usually generates (or “eliminates”, ahem), I’m not taking sides.)
