I’ve loved despair.com for a long time, ever since those stupid “motivational” posters first got popular (usually with the type of manager referred to in the “Blenz” posting below). All they really seem to say is “you too can be replaced by a lobotomized monkey”.
Regarding the top picture up there, here are a couple more. One finds these in the “not-my-job” category.
I always wanted to do an art project: you have a gallery show of some popular artist, but you don’t let anyone in right away. You make them sit in an archetypally bland, oatmeal-tweed waiting room for 10 minutes first. The waiting room has a Despair.com pic on the wall, and the books to read include the Book of Boring Postcards, Waiting for Godot, etc. Of course, the video from the waiting room is beamed into the actual gallery.

I bet I could get a grant for that.
