Sexy Demotivational Posters

This kind of poster has been repeatedly parodied, and parodical demotivational posters have become an Internet meme. One famous motivational poster features a kitten hanging from a tree branch along with the phrase “Hang in There, Baby!” This has been the target of various reproductions and parodies, such as an appearance on The Simpsons episode “The Twisted World of Marge Simpson” where Marge Simpson notices the copyright date (1968) and comments, “…determined or not, that cat must be long dead. That’s kind of a downer.”[5] Another reference to the poster is The Onion’s 1999 “In the News” photograph titled “Inspirational Poster Kitten Falls To Death After 17 Years”
