# Real-Life Anti-Motivation This Demotivational Poster is Fitting and Funny By Jacqueline Parrish | Published 2009-10-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/demotivational-poster References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/endswell/motivational-posters-3f2) & [theburningbiscuit](http://theburningbiscuit.com/Demotivational) By now, that which is the demotivational poster is somewhat of a cult following, with new pictures and captions popping up daily from the most creative of us.
