Yes, I am the space alien who likes them. I really do. I like the pretty pictures. I like the pithy sayings. I like the motivational content. On the other hand, I also like the demotivational posters, so I don't know what that says about me. Can't make up my mind I guess, but by now you already know that about me.
But even I get blown away from time to time by the rank stupidity of some people. What does this even mean?!
There is a way out of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail.
That makes it all the way to "offensive" in my book. If the ignorant louse that wrote that drivel found his way out of any dark mist life by dancing up a rainbow trail, I'll eat his poster.

Hi I’m Milly I like the posters. I first started by looking at them. I realized I was hooked when I found myself thinking of purchasing one. I call a support group and was able to stop myself. :-}
I like then too my daughters school has them everywhere It’s inspiring.
Now for the person who wrote this one- There is a way out of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail.
Stop smoke’n or sniff’n the ink. I can’t picture someone just a dancing down a rainbow from the mist. Except in a musical, a bad rendition of OZ.
However I do love to dance on glitter. Skittles could be fun gummy bears are wrong. :o?
Codepoke,
Was this a demotivator or motivator poster?
If it was a motivar, I think its author may have licked a toad before work.
If it was a demotivator, then the author knew that rainbows can't really shine through dark mist. Hense it is a stupid statement.
Either way, it is stupid statement.

I LOVED those demotivational videos from that website. LOL That's precious stuff. I gotta bookmark that one. The one on "it could be worse" was hysterical!
Thanks for the laugh.
Regarding the phrase at hand. I do believe it is simply too artsy to be understood, thereby making it one of those classic phrases to be oft quoted for eons. We are obviously not nearly as cultured as the author. Poor, poor us.
Codepoke,
Okay, it was all I could do not to fall out of my chair on those videos. They were hillarious.
-doug
I had been telling my employees that they are beneath me, but he's right, where's the class in that? I bought my hand-disinfectant today. ;-)
Oh, and someone paid good money for the poster about rainbow dancing. The toad-licker accomplished the main goal of making his nickel for the day.
Are these any better?
