Demotivationals

The now classic subversion of the motivational poster has been around for so long that it's hard to tell when it started. That doesn't mean that it's gotten stale though, as this gallery perfectly illustrates.

It's one thing to take pictures of cute girls. It's another to take pictures of cute girls who are taking pictures! I wonder if the girls taking the pictures of the cute girls taking pictures are cute......Confused yet?

There are millions of cuties on the planet, all i am asking for this year is just one (or maybe two) of them to unwrap on my birthday, i've been a very good boy this year - Honest!? PLEASE GOD!!!

So the Olympics and the paralympics are over. The races have all been run, the medals have all been handed out and the politicians have all received their rightful booing. Time to admire the subversive street artists take on the proceedings.

Believe it or not, these are all actually paintings. They are not photographs. Works by Roberto Bernardi, Eric Christensen, Steve Mills, Pedro Campos, Tom Martin, Jason Degraaf and Mark Goings.

Now here's a great idea that should really should be taken to every subway station on the planet. Why aren't all subways packed with 8-bit style artwork? It makes for some awesome nostalgia moments.

It's not always a sure thing that when you point a camera in someone's direction that they will oblige with a pose and a smile. But when it comes to cuties the chances of success go through the roof, smile or not!

Sometimes our base animal instincts rise up out of nowhere and we behave like dogs sniffing around another canine's rear quarters, only humans are so much more evolved, so we just stare wide-eyed and drool!

Ahhh, where would we be without our comrades from the land of the hammer, sickle and so much 'WTF!?!' it's incredible. Where the rest of the world operates in one particular way, you can rely on Russia to do it differently.

Lets face it, people are a very strange fruit, sure we are all prone to behavining as a norm in everyday situations, but change the background picture, or calmness into chaos and it seems like little changes.

If you think you're pretty good at 'Draw Something', think again. These guys are almost completely unbeatable. This is the sort of natural talent that the rest of us just can't compete with. Feeling humiliated yet? You will.
