Apologies, but no results were found.
I was making fun of inspirational Twitter posts earlier today and @shueytexas reminded me of the clichéd “Hang in There” virtues of the kitten-in-a-tree poster. Which I may or may not have hung in my room as an 11 year-old.
So I thought of a contest. Below is a picture of a cute kitten hanging from a tree. Your job is to come up with the best caption for this poster. The only rules: It must be anti-inspirational. So if you put this photo and your caption together, what you’d end up with is the least inspirational poster ever.
To kick things off, here are a few of my suggestions.
Caption #1:
Hang on as long as you like, but understand the boiling lava will eventually incinerate the tree.
Caption #2:
This kitten may be cute, but unfortunately it slipped right after this photo was taken and broke its leg.
Caption #3:
Bereft of companionship, this cat began hugging trees. Environmentalists are like that.
————-
Now it’s your turn. The caption contest ends at 9 am tomorrow, at which time I’ll pick my favorite and send the winner a free, signed copy of Pocket Guide to the Bible.
Ready? Go!

Soft focus makes you look fat. Looking fat will make you want to jump out of a tree and kill yourself. However, you may then find yourself paralyzed by acrophobia. So, if you’re afraid of heights and somebody takes a soft focus photo of you, find a different method of suicide.

I’m going to borrow one of Jason’s proven rhetorical conventions so as to ensure that I’m the winner. It’s the ol’ ask-a-question-and-follow-it-with-a-short-statement move.”Yes, I’m stuck in a tree. Literally. That third branch in the background? Right through my chest.”

It isn’t curiosity that kills the cat, it’s not hiding from all of life’s problems.

The big cats sleep in trees. YOU are not a big cat.

Inspiration for these came from me sitting in my calculus class, a pretty anti-inspirational place…”Reaching for the stars has never been so easy given today’s scientific advancements, too bad your most notable achievement is liking your butt and getting stuck in trees.” “Good thing cats always land on their feet, can’t say the same for you.”"Your ambitious spirit has led you on many adventures, this being your last.”Now I feel depressed…:)
