Can you Feel the Love? (Offer ends 11/20/08)
Yes. We went there. After a year in which Despair introduced timely and concise political commentaries, topical and cleverly-worded social commentary, gorgeously photographed absurdist Internet humor and a variety of other inspired bits of Demotivational™ brilliance, we finally unveiled something aimed squarely at your inner, broken-hearted 3rd grader.
Those interested in picking up a Romance desktopper and/or lithograph in advance of Valentine’s Day are being offered that rarest of opportunities- the chance to pick up BOTH for FREE by preordering them this week! Simply visit the new Romance page and add a Desktopper and Lithograph to your order. Your first one of each will be complimentary, provided you spend at least $19.95 on other Despair goods. (Looking for suggestions? Why not pick up a Posterbook calendar? And make sure to make “Romance” your Demotivator for February!)
PLEASE NOTE: you have to add them to your cart to get them for free- they are not dropped in with all orders. Items including Romance desktoppers and lithographs should ship within the next two weeks. Calendars featuring this design are shipping within less than 72 hours.
I’m already anticipating some angry e-mails- but please remember, I didn’t write it. I’m the guy that wrote Blogging, remember? The phrase that’s so damningly quotable that it is already being quoted (often without attribution) by nearly a thousand web sites. I never take the low road, except occasionally on my Twitter feed* after fighting with my ex-girlfriend… So please, go easy on me in your replies! I’ll forward your feedback (pro or con) on to the writers.
That’s all I got! So load up!
* Hey, speaking of my Twitter feed, did you know that people who are following it got a sneak peek at this design- and an early tip on the freebie promotion? See? It’s not all just late-night grousing about ‘Heather’, or updates on South Austin’s international man-of-mystery, ‘The Thong Master‘, or bickering with Heidi the Intern about how many different flavors of Vinaigrette have to be on a menu before a restaurant can be declared the Girliest in all of Austin… That stuff accounts for no more than like 90% of what I write… Maybe you should start following it?
