This Week: * PUTIN - His Facebook Lookback * CARTOON HEADS - on real people * SORRY - from a cat ------------------------------------------------- ________ ____ __ ___ ____/ _)|_ // /_/ _ | "Ou sont ___/ _ |/_ </ __/ __ | les neiges __/____/____/\__/_/ |_| d'antan?" B3ta email 619 - 14 Feb 2014 Stare at this newsletter blankly: http://b3ta.com/newsletter/issue619 Bigs : b3ta-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Smalls : b3ta-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com ------------------------------------------------- : WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK >> Vladimir Putin's Facebook Lookback << "What a 10 years he's had..." beams (actual video creator)db123. We're actually a bit hesitant to credit anyone criticising Putin - you never know what's going to turn up in their sushi. http://www.b3ta.com/links/1135040/ >> A review of Man of Steel << "I downloaded the torrent 'cause it's cheaper and better," confesses dogfood. Funny little gag runs its course and then gets... weirdly brilliant. Stick with it. http://www.b3ta.com/links/A_review_of_Man_of_Steel >> Terrifying 'ASMR relaxation video' << "I did a video for the ASMR community," writes jonofthesouth. For those of you not familiar with Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, it's basically inducing euphoria through whispers - check it out on Ye Olde Wikipedia. This video, on the other hand, utterly gave us The Fear. http://www.b3ta.com/links/1136482/ ------------------------------------------------- : SITES IN BRIEF Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates >> Cartoonist draws alternate heads for commuters << Bored on his journey home, October Jones draws new cartoon heads for the people he shares a train with. >> Adding 2 lines makes animations look more 3D << Two vertical white lines and you can make an animated GIF look like it's coming RIGHT AT YOUR FACE! http://www.viralnova.com/3d-images/ >> Legendarily dangerous theme park << 'Action Park was the site of several fatalities in just the first five years of operation' - that's all you need to know. >> Creationist Questions Translated << Kinda shooting fish in a barrel, but here are those Creationist questions for scientists translated in various logical fallacies. http://imgur.com/gallery/PbBTk >> Jim'll Paint It fans tear Madonna a new one << Madonna failed to credit Jim'll paint It when sharing a pic that he did of Putin as the Village People. The rage of his fans, as they take to her page en masse is something to behold. Sample comment: "Madonna is just a stupid hairy clunged fucking arsehole piece of shit for not crediting Jim'll paint it!" ------------------------------------------------- : USVSTH3M Some stuff we hope you like from our other site * EPIC MANLINESS TEST - Test your osterone with this uncannily accurate quiz. http://games.usvsth3m.com/epic-manliness-test/ * FLAPPY PICKLES - Tories! Floods! Flappy Bird! It's SATIRE! http://games.usvsth3m.com/flappy-pickles/ * CAPTAIN KIRK, FREDDY KRUEGER, DR ZAIUS & R2D2 all taking time out for a little drink and a snack between takes. http://usvsth3m.com/post/76420089069/ ------------------------------------------------- : VIDEO SCHMIDEO >> Cat tries to apologise << Cats are not naturals at saying sorry. Predictable results. http://www.b3ta.com/links/Cat_tries_to_Apologise >> Billy Ray Cyrus twerking video << This is awful. So fucking awful. Therefore, it's unmissable. Billy Ray Cyrus, a rapper and gyrating aliens recreate Achy Breaky Heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72WhEqeS6AQ >> 3D printed robot plays air hockey << This ticks any number of boxes for us. But largely makes us sad that we'll no longer be able to play air hockey without being bullied by some stupid robot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjzSeOg8oTs ------------------------------------------------- : B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE Results from the Sci-Fi Sitcom Challenge Last week we wanted you to do the same as every other week, but with science fiction and sitcoms Your favourites included: * TROTTER: positronic-brained android falls in Peckham pub (Fresh Water Mole) http://www.b3ta.com/board/11054995 * MELDREW: curmudgeonly crank mishandles alien lobster (Captain Howdy) http://www.b3ta.com/board/11056143 * NORDBERG: wookie pays surprise visit to satirical squad (Fresh Water Mole) http://www.b3ta.com/board/11055094 All these images, and the highest as voted by you can be found here: http://www.b3ta.com/challenge/sci-fi-sitcoms/ >> New challenge: Shit Prequels << This week's challenge is to pretend you're a useless movie mogul, and create shit and pointless Hollywood prequels.
