Laugh, Don't Cry!


Just because creating wealth is morally and materially important doesn't mean that business can't laugh at itself.

Despair, Inc. is a business that makes fun of business. It makes parodies of those motivational posters found in offices large and small.

Some examples:

MEETINGS: None of us is as dumb as all of us.

BLAME: The secret to success is knowing who to blame for your failures.

DREAMS: Dreams are like rainbows. Only idiots chase them.

These posters look great in government offices, too, as the line between business and government gets blurrier. And this tee shirt says it all:

GOVERNMENT: If you think the problems we create are bad, just wait until you see our solutions.

Despair, Inc. joins a select group of humor links in the lower left hand corner of the Bastiat Society's home page. Laugh, don't cry!
