« The not-so-finest hours of Orson Welles | Main | You can count on Hillary parodies at 3 a.m. »

A cool site you won't even be able to enjoy You know, it's about time someone started making things that don't encourage us to better ourselves. Hats off to Despair Inc. for allowing us not only to accept adulthood but to wallow in the ambitionless mire of it. The unattractive, disaffected models are a nice touch, and it’s good to know that their shirts aren’t “made in China by underfed children,” but by “shady and/or skanky-looking underfed 20-somethings who tend to like their shirts small and form-fitting.” Despair’s yearly demotivational calendars are great too, and they even allow you to design your own. Since every other company on earth profits from our lack of self-esteem, at least we know one company is up front about it. Via Make the Logo Bigger. —Posted by David Kiefaber

Cute model! I mean, wow. I don't think he is unattractive at all! He is the best looking guy I have ever seen!

Your joking right.....must be the ugliest guy I ever saw....I hope they paid him enough to have some plastic surgery!

For real- the dude is the spitting image of Robert De Niro- circa "Taxi Driver"! I mean that as a compliment!

And cripes, all the people on the site are attractive- they're just not catalog models! Props to that company for using real people and boos to ad age snots for snark!

This guy makes a head of broccoli look attractive.

MY GOD!

That guy is truly hideous, probably a genetic defect, but it is possible that he has been running around with Amy Winehouse and her crowd.

He looks a little uncomfortable, like he needs more fiber...

He may be cute, but Dispair gives the WORST customer service ever. The people on the phone were nice, but inept. I ordered something in early November for my family for a Christmas present and it never came, despite repeated phone calls to different "managers." Make sure you stay on them if you order something.

If you don't want him, I'll take him. Could you get his name, phone number, and email address PLEEZE.

It is nice to see that the actor from "Powder" isn't completely out of work...
