I take particular pleasure in puncturing vacuous bullshit like this. "Inspirational" memes are particularly loathsome in this respect. A few years ago my best friend and I, on a whim, started a satirical Facebook group taking the piss out of these (we abandoned it after a few days, but it's still there). They got thousands of likes and followers, because I think they overlooked our one-liners commenting on them.

Example: "The only disability in life is a bad attitude" meme had our comment thus: "If that's the case, please can I apply for disability benefit?"
