Demotivators

You have probably seen motivational photos is many office environments. Photos with titles such as TEAMWORK, QUALITY, and ACHIEVEMENT, and so on. Well there are also demotivators.

Check out this link if you need some ideas

Challenge: Create your own Demotivational Photo and caption.

Such as this:
A photo of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
Caption: Mediocrity
It takes a lot less time and most people won't notice the difference until it's too late.

I've always loved despair.com. I have a long-term sneaky plan to substitute the inspirational poster in our meeting room with one of theirs and see if anyone notices...

Since I'd used my Tater Tot's image in another thread, when I saw this thread, I thought -- why not be lazy and use it again?!

Added text and stretched it out across the image, but didn't work too hard at getting it right, because I can always do it another day....

Nicely done CJ!!! And extra double bonus points for being the first to tackle this challenge!!!

One suggestion, you might want to center the text...but hey you can always do it later

Thanks. Making these is an excellent way to work off some excess cynicism.
