Then there's the motivational quote calendar; a real page turner (not!) filled with supposedly inspiring, seize the day-style axioms; you know, the sort of thing you might see hanging on David Brent's wall. So wouldn't it be good if there was a calendar to counter all this optimistic thigh-slapping drivel; a calendar filled with demotivating images and utterly demoralising words of wisdom. Well, guess what? There is, and it's called Best of Demotivators 2010.
This brilliant calendar has been put together by our good friends at Despair Inc., creators of the soul-crushingly depressing Demotivators range, designed so you can skip the delusions induced by motivational products and head straight for the inevitable disappointments that follow. The Demotivators Calendar 2010 really is one of the most gloriously disheartening gifts we've ever seen, as it contains 12 ingenious, myth-exploding messages concerning a variety of subjects, from achievement and ambition to pretension and procrastination.
You can't make this stuff up!
So what are you waiting for? Good things don't come to those who wait; good things come to those who click Buy.

"MOTIVATION. Psychology tells us it comes from within. Common sense tells us it can't be manufactured. Yet motivational books, posters and speeches are the heart of a multi-billion dollar industry. Why? Because people desperately want simple solutions to complex problems. And when desperation has disposable income, market opportunities abound. At Despair, Inc., we believe motivational products raise hopes only to dash them. Our 2008 calendar features twelve of our most depressing Demotivators® designs, so you can skip the delusions that motivational products induce and head straight for the disappointments that follow. Enjoy! (As if that's really possible)."
- E.L. Kersten, Ph.D., Despair, inc. COO & Founder.
Months:
- Approximately 30.5cm x 56cm (when open).
- Approximately 30.5cm x 28cm (when closed).
