So hard to choose! But here is my absolute favorite. I chose it because this plays on not only true madness and sanity, but also the classic cheesy howling wolf image. And I would completely love to have this hanging on my wall:

MADNESS
Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "Hey, is there room in your head for one more?"

The best of the rest are demotivators that made me laugh outloud or shake my head violently. Each one of these is poetic, humorous, and eerily true. So perfect.

SACRIFICE
Your role may be thankless, but if you're willing to give it your all, you just might bring success to those who outlast you.

PRIORITIES
Hundreds of years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... But the world may be different because I did something so bafflingly crazy that my ruins become a tourist attraction.

POTENTIAL
Not everyone gets to be an astronaut when they grow up.

PLANNING
Much work remains to be done before we can announce our total failure to make any progress.

PERSISTENCE
It's over, man. Let her go.

Thanks, Chris! You've made me feel so motivate I almost have to go re-read my posters to get demotivated again. Thanks for the big smile today! :D

Procrastination.
Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.

1st one is one i made after the "Purity Rings" South Park episode.
Jedi Squirrels are just awesome.
Existence of Asians is funny too.
Combo Breaker, made popular after Obama's election.
Happy Bug is my absolute favorite. (Warning, some language.)
Everyone loves Raptor Jesus.

Hey... if you like that one, you'll really love this one! I know it's not a 'demotivator' but it's priceless. Why is the horse in there?!

My favorite one is the "Potential" poster with the french fries that you posted above. I just can't stop finding it funny. And true.

Actually, I'm a pessimist. I prefer de-motivational saying right now...those that reflect the bleak outlook that people just don't care about you or your circumstances:

http://despair.com/viewall.html

DE-MOTIVATION
"Sometimes the best solution to morale problems is just to fire all of the unhappy people."

PRIORITIES
"Hundreds of years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... But the world may be different because I did something so bafflingly crazy that my ruins become a tourist attraction."

RETIREMENT
"Because you've given so much of yourself to the company that you don't have anything left we can use."

I love this poster. This poster would also work with "PRIORITIES: You may need to reevaluate yours."
