Reminds me of the latest Australian political scandal, known as Utegate.

Don't ask me what it means, I have no idea what the whole thing's about either.

Don't you hate the "-gate" suffix as a shortcut for a political scandal? I'm waiting for a scandal involving a gate so we can have gategate. Maybe some outrage over a set of master keys, dubbed mastergate? It was clever maybe one time after Watergate, cut it the hell out, Media.

Dead wrong.

Most motivational posters are just repetitions of any text in a strange picture, or something you'd expect and idiot to have posted in the comments section of the original picture from whatever site it was from.

They immediately negate the image's humour by forcing you to derive one piece of humour from it and one only, and instead of finding an image funny in your own way. If this image was posted without the motivator, it'd bring all sorts of comments here giving imagined insight to how it could have happened, and everyone would have seen it differently, and gotten better humour from it tailored to them.

Looking at a motivator is like watching a sitcom with someone next to you who explains to you why every joke is funny. But you've already got the joke. And they just ruined it.

Compared to the original 'motivational' posters, the kind you see unironically in schools and workplaces, the demotivators are a godsend.

I didn't hear anybody calling out Gategate after reporting that the ghost allegedly burned bars out of anger.

Fuck it. Let's all participate in the Special Olympics, shall we?

The US media continues to use it because 98% of them are Leftists, and if they can
continue to beat the public over the head with the meme "Only Right-Wingers Ever
Engage In Such Unethical Acts", eventually they hope to bring about a one-party
state, a la the (dead) Soviet Union and the (dying) People's Republic of China....

I'd include a smiley, but some of those cocksuckers are *serious*.... :P

I do recall there being some small scandal involving a gated community which didn't
allow an ambulance in, and someone died; that might have been "Gategate"....

The original demotivators from Despair Inc. are, yes. But once the internet gets their hands on them, Sturgeon's Law comes into effect.
