Motivational Posters

Ah, the other kind of unrealistic game models.

Although I don't think many people here would want to see that kilt in real life.

That's from No one lives forever, right? Still one of my favorite games ever.

Yep, that's No One Lives Forever. Nice to know there's fans of the game out there. Few shooters come close to matching how good that game is.

I have several other Code Geass-themed (de)motivators, but I especially like this one:

Because we all know it's going to happen:

It's just like obscenity:

This one's probably NSFW, but it's not graphic or disgusting, either.

I had at least one other Fate/stay night (de)motivator, but this one should suffice:

I don't see why Gilgamesh couldn't have been blonde. He most definitely wasn't a pretty boy, probably had big manly muscles and an epic beard, but the ancient Mesopotamians weren't of the same stock as the current ones, they could have had blondes.

While it is not as common as in Europe hair color other than that of brunnetes do exist in the middle east.

If you seriously think that's offensive I'll gladly take it down but I don't see a problem with it myself.

I think quite a few people here might not like it.

I have made (and found) a bunch of cool motivational posters, but have no photobucket account, and no idea about linking pics on this site. (yes, I am that bad with computers.) Would anyone mind putting them up if I email them?

Thank you.

Just go to http://www.photobucket.com and register an account. It'll basically guide you through it after that. And it'll even have formatted links for posting on message boards. And you'll have to do is click the appropriate text and it will copy for you, and then you can just paste it in here. Exceedingly easy, if you take the effort.

All he has to do is change the damned text so it doesn't use the king of all racial epithets.

mind you I didn't see the thing out side of the damn thumbnail.

It just offended me on the overuse of nested quotes....

I didn't make the fucking thing, I don't have the source images and I'm lazy. It's still on my photobucket if anyone holds a burning desire to see it.

Care to explain the joke in that?

Well firstly it's a lot of posters one upping the last, secondly the last poster divides infinity plus two by zero and then cuts out mid sentence presumably having caused the world to crash with impossible math or some such. I was mildly amused by it and tired enough that it didn't even really register for me that it used a racial epithet. Furthermore, had I realized that it used a slur there's a good chance I would've posted it anyway.

Primarily because I feel that if used in an ironic fashion or without intent to belittle/hurt the group the word targets racist words can be amusing (see: Blazing Saddles as a media example and the fact that I, someone who is half Polish and a registered member of the Cherokee nation routinely laugh at both "dumb polock" and Indian jokes as a personal example).

As a secondary reason I'm an egalitarian and I feel that if, as a culture, you decide that a word is an acceptable method of address for use in public, in songs, on TV and just about everywhere else then you lose the right to bitch when someone who has a different skin tone than you uses the word. It would be like me cracking Polish jokes in public the jumping down someone's throat for telling one of their own. Not cool at all.

Wow, that turned into a long ass rant...
This argument is kinda dumb and really not on topic. If any of those insulted by the poster want to keep this up we should probably start a new thread or do this over PMs or in the chat or something, because this certainly isn't motivational poster talk anymore...

Back on track...

Adrian Laguna · Post by **Adrian Laguna** » 2008-04-29 01:24am

I must thank you darthdavid. Among my extensive collection of utterly tasteless posters I can sadly only share with the infantile fucktards in /b/, there was one which seemed borderline enough to be worth posting, thanks to you I know it's not.

I think thermodynamics are hilarious.

Nobody else does, but I'm inflicting the joke on you anyway.

Joint effort between Beowulf and myself, you may notice it's actually good.

Of all the posters that follow, I made none.

At first glance this looks like a pointless anime reference, it actually stands on its own, but you have to read the subtitles in the image.
