: BEST USVSTH3M ARTICLES THIS MONTH
Reading rather than interactives
* Russell Brand and Nigel Farage on Question
Time means politics has reached 'peak shit' -
written by John Higgs author of The KLF: Chaos,
Magic and the Band Who Burned a Million Pounds.
* What happened when your B3ta editor Rob Manuel
visited the notorious Cereal Killer Cafe.
* 17 times it 'all kicked off' in regional news
- the best, most bafflingly mundane, headlines
from uk's local papers.
-------------------------------------------------
: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates
* Abandoned CDs - oddly fascinating glimpses
of the rotting, technology of the recent past.
http://abandonedcds.blogspot.co.uk/
* Winter wear for the discerning b3tard -
because who doesn't want to be draped in cock?
http://odioalagente.tumblr.com/post/105381396001
* 12 days of Tubgirl and Goatse - Something
festive for our readers and not even that NSFW.
Finally a use for 3-D printing!
http://tubgirlandgoatse.tumblr.com/
* Bullets! Lots of bullets! The Recordist on
SoundCloud has 23 seconds of HD bullets
whizzing by. Play loud, as it used to say on
LPs.
https://soundcloud.com/therecordist/bullets-2-hd-pro-sfx-preview
* A very specific niche here. Perfect for
secret Santa!
-------------------------------------------------
: PODCAST CORNER
Keep you busy over Xmas anyway
* Marc Maron and Louis C.K. from 2010 - "this
conversation between Marc [Maron] and Louis
C.K. was chosen by Slate as the #1 podcast
episode of all time."
http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/louis_c.k._from_2010
* New Popper/Serafinowicz Radio Spirit World -
"David Frost interviews Jimmy Savile. In Hell.
Ft. Hitler, Margaret Thatcher and Bill Cosby,"
writes jonofthesouth.
-------------------------------------------------
: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Like TV but without the Radio Times
>> Car Park by Bird Box Studio <<
Varmint writes, "This deserves a repost because
it won the British Comedy Award 2014 for best
Internet short, AND was done by a B3tan!"
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Car_Park_by_Bird_Box_Studio
>> The Crap Robot Championships <<
"This is what the internet was invented for!"
claims wakeupandsmellthebacon - with partial
accuracy.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/1253529/
>> A recorder made from a carrot <<
Does what it says on the tin. A carroty tin.

: FUNNY NAME CORNER
'Fanny burger'
OnionTerror writes, "I actually used to live
in this town, which is why I found out about
this. It wasn't there when I was so I missed
out on eating some."
