Strange Celeb Quotes About Cosmetic Surgery:
Cosmetic surgery is terrifying. It never looks good. Those women look weird. They look in the mirror and think they look great, but they don't see what we see. I think it's hideous. They scare small children. - Model Jerry Hall
I'd like to grow old with my face moving. - Kate Winslet
Actress on why she would not consider cosmetic surgery.
Actresses have to be able to frown. - Catherine Deneuve
Screen legend on why she is against cosmetic surgery.
It wasn't a fortune. It cost me the price of one-and-a-half Hermes handbags.
Anne Robinson - British TV personality on her cosmetic surgery.
Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.
Kate Winslet
I wish I had a twin, so I could know what I'd look like without plastic surgery.
Joan Rivers

"I asked him, 'Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?'
He said, 'Coach, I don't know and I don't care.'"
13. Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting what he told a player who received four F's and one D:

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Which City Has Hosted the Super Bowl the Most Times?
Which City Has Hosted the Super Bowl the Most Times?
Miami, Florda has hosted the most at ten times.
Five times at the Miami Orange Bowl, and 5 times at the Joe Robbie/Pro Player/Dolphin/Sun Life Stadium.
The decision by NFL owners to award the 2014 Super Bowl to the joint bid submitted by the New York Giants and New York Jets was a significant milestone for America's unofficial national holiday, Super Bowl Sunday.
For the first time, the Super Bowl will be played in the largest metropolitan area in the country which also happens to be the No. 1 media market in the U.S.
Super Bowl XLVIII will take place at the New Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey, which is owned by the Giants and Jets and is a short subway ride from Manhattan. New York (or New Jersey, if you will) will finally get a chance to host the big game, an event that some economists believe will provide a $550 million boost to the local economy, New York Jets chairman and CEO Woody Johnson told news sources.

Ok, it's Amazon Tat. Whatever.
>> Semen cooking <<
Available for sale on Lulu for a while but the
joy of this text reaching Amazon is of course
the reviews.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1481227041/b3ta-21

Military drone as child's toy. Some great

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
>> Official Cockerney Rhyming Slang Translator <<
"If you've ever been tempted by the venerable
tradition of talking like a 19th-century
costermonger, but don't have the right
vocabulary, then this site is for you," brags
Amish Information Systems. An invaluable guide
to blending in down Laaaahndon way.
http://moteprime.org/cockerney/
>> The Dragon Maker <<
"Did you know that if you take Duncan
Bannatyne's eyes & nose, mix them with Deborah
Meaden's mouth and Peter Jones' head, it looks
a little like Frank Skinner?" inquires
Q4nobody.co.uk. Create the venture capitalist
chimera of your choice with this surprisingly
pleasing feature-swap.
http://www.earlyshakespeare.com/dragonmaker.html
>> Simon Cowell stitches up Superpowerless <<
B3tan @superpowerless was recently approached to
be on Britain's Got Talent. Here is his formal
complaint.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B8j_gKP-VM&feature=youtu.be&a
>> Low-rez Twitter toy <<
Make some pixelly art for the tweeting. "Fans of
ludicrously low-res graphics might want to have
a play," write screator Matt Round. "@15by7 will
retweet the best efforts."
http://15by7.com
>> "How I seduced my wife" by Joel Veitch <<
"Hey blud i dun a new thing, with Butters,"
types the internet's Joel Veitch. This is almost
certainly how it went down.
http://b3ta.com/links/I_Love_You_So_Hard_Part_2
>> Jimmy Savile Remix <<
"I've waited my 30 days probation," explains
smearballs. "And finally I'm allowed to release
this." Grotesque performing paedophile, somehow
made even more disturbing with the patented
smearballs treatment.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Jimmy_Savile_Remix
>> Joe Pesci Grammar Correction <<
"Self explanatory," explains somegreybloke.
Funny, like a clown.

* THE WATCH - "My dad is the mad old bloke who
runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military
operation. His team invited the local policeman
to do a talk, who asked what they would like from
their local police force. "Fight crime!" they
said, but the policeman replied despondently
that there had been no real crime in that part
of Surrey for years. Racking her brain, one lady
complained that the local sixth formers drove
ever so carelessly and fast, and suggested a
speed trap. This he did, unannounced, the
following week. He caught one sixth former...
and the lady who had made the complaint."
(browser)
* CHIPS - "I wouldn't call the lady that runs
the cafe in the Ethiopian Airport at Dire Dawa
an official. But she has a uniform. "Can I have
some chips?" "Can't have chips, not on the menu"
"Whats that?" I point to a lady eating chips
"Egg sandwich" "I'll have an Egg Sandwich
please" "It is not on the menu... but I can make
it" "Yes please, two Egg Sandwiches, they come
with chips?" "Yes" "Thank you" (To be honest
this is nothing. In Ethiopia it is still 2005,
they have 13 months a year and time starts at
6am.)" (doktored)
* NOT FUNNY - "Browsing my local freecycle, I
read that one woman had, "just got a new dog -
he's quite small and cold. Does anyone have any
dog jackets?" Chuckling to myself, I made my own
ad: "Just got a Korean cookbook - does anyone
have any small dogs, preferably cold." And the
shit hit the fan. Self-righteous board moderator
banned me and another freecycler for daring to
laugh at my ad." (snee)
>> This Week - MORE PET STORIES <<
Scaryduck's dog died last week, and he's sick of
people sending him that stupid Rainbow Bridge
poem. Tell us about excellent (or rubbish) pets:

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates
>> Glowing testimonial... <<
Insurance claimant gives a much too specific
testimonial statement. Check it out and get a
web designer fired today!
http://www.accidentclaims.org/
>> Why Unicorn Drinks <<
Rather dark spoof kids' book about the sadnesses
of Mister Unicorn's life.
http://bit.ly/RKKlme
>> Kate Bush Spectrum Art <<
If we could be arsed, we'd do similar for the
track Spectrum by Florence and the Machine Code.

>> Annoying things clients say to designers <<
Although it's missing our favourite, "you're
fired and we're not paying you."
http://sharpsuits.net/Home
-------------------------------------------------
: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Like TV but on the web! Woo hoo!
>> Lance Armstrong is a creep <<
When you give a two-hour interview with Oprah,
you have to expect that people will match your
words to a Radiohead song. Shame Lance wasn't
sampled earlier in his career - we might have
known about the blood doping earlier.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Hes_a_Creep
>> Bill Gates jumping over a chair <<
Damn, look at him soaring like an eagle. Steve
Jobs couldn't match these moves even when he
was alive.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TCxE0bWQeQ
>> Mooncup vs Tampon rap battle <<
This is almost certainly a faithful depiction of
what goes on behind the closed doors of the
ladies' toilets. For our money, Tampon Crew have
the best insults. But it's not our money.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zj4NhC8ahM
>> Lion King 3D <<
Classic Disney vastly improved with the CGI
treatment. One of the most amazing things you'll
see this year.
http://bit.ly/Xpgi2n
>> Hellish song rewrite <<
Anyone who's had a boss can relate to this
extraordinary tale of a song being rewritten 19
times to please the people who are paying for it.

>> New challenge: Don't Visit Britain <<
The Government are thinking of launching a
poster campaign to discourage people from coming
to Britain - basically because they think
pandering to racists will distract the public
from their total fucking over the economy. Sad
thing is, they're probably right.
http://b3ta.com/challenge/britain-is-rubbish/
-------------------------------------------------
: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Follow-ups on previous stories.
* PENIS PROVERBS - Happosai writes, "As
requested in the 'things we'd like to see'
section of this week's newsletter. It's a
quick'n'dirty reworking of something, which I
wrote a few years ago for the same reason."
http://www.tabbron.com/proverb/penis.html
* MISSING NEWSLETTER Enzyme writes, "Also,
whatever happened to newsletter 564?" We're very
superstitious about the number 564. It's
extremely sinister. OK, we got mixed up.
-------------------------------------------------
: STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE
Make something cool and tell us about it. If
you are in it then people will see your stuff.
Things we'd really like to see include
* ADDRESS LINE TWITTER GAMES - Matt Round writes
- after "data:text/html, "
you're left with 108 chars - is it possible to
get a game into a tweet..?
* BORED OF BACON / KITTENS / GIFS - what next
for the hive-mind that can't concentrate?
* SOCIAL NETWORK / CLOUD THAT DOESN'T GRANT
ACCESS TO RANDOM AUTHORITIES - we remember

Ardunio
Yadda yadda buy some ads already - so as
tradition dictates the slot is taken with
something we've recently bought on Amazon. The
Arduino is a circuit board you can download
code into and then make it do things. Mainly
we've used it with a small speaker, ripped out
of a kids' toy, and a handful of variable
resistors to make a chiptune arpeggiator. They
cost bugger all (under £15) and are a damn site
easier to get your head round than fiddling
with logic chips. The code is simply "if then"
kind of stuff, rather than having to measure
resistor values and getting really confused.
Nice hobby, if you're a bit geeky.

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
>> match.com - Meet Jeff <<
"Those match.com adverts suck," claims woahbot.
"They don't portray online 'dating' like they
should so we've taken matters into our own
hands and made our own." The camera just loves
ad star Log.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/match_com_Meet_Jeff
>> Very Specific Facebook Graph Searches <<
Web ubernaut Tom Scott has been playing around
with Facebook's new Graph Search. The results
can be narrowed down to a slightly alarming
degree. Companies that employ people who like
"Racism", anyone?
http://actualfacebookgraphsearches.tumblr.com/
>> Bored Stiff <<
"A disgusting little animation called Bored
Stiff," explains Man in a Cat scribe Ian
Ravenscroft. Ugh. Never go to hospital.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Bored_Stiff
>> Cheesy 50s brain-melt <<
"This is all made from an old piece of film
footage about the wonders of capitalism or
something," scribbles Cyriak. Watch it HD if
you can.
http://bit.ly/Ys7QnT
>> Obama's Cassetteboy inauguration <<
Barack Obama's way with words takes a new
dimension, with the help of Cassetteboy. "We
spent most of last night cutting up Obama's
Inaugural Address. Here's what we pasted back
together."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK6nH5ZG4q8
-------------------------------------------------
: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Sorry
Last week we asked you to write letters of
apology to those you have wronged. We still
can't work out the confession of murder on
their daughter's wedding day:
http://b3ta.com/questions/sorry/
* MARKER - "While working as the sales manager
of (probably) the last CDR manufacturer in the
UK, times were tough. We took on a few extra
jobs to pay the bills, one of which was packing
U2 CDs, inserts and promo stickers into jewel
cases before boxing them up for distribution.
The whole factory got involved, but not being
very good at mindless tedium, I amused myself
autographing one or two discs. Nothing fancy,
just things like "Enjoy! Bono," and "All the
best, Bono." So, I would like to humbly apologise
to any excited, little U2 fans (particularly if
they are big, scary, violent, baseball-bat-wielding
little U2 fans) who thought they had got their
hands on something unique, personal and special,
especially if they showed them off to their
U2-loving friends, and especially especially if
their friends were slightly skeptical about the
idea of Bono standing in the CD production line
with a magic marker, and extracted the piss by
the gallon. Sorry."
(blyerkit)
* LETTER - "At primary school I had an odd teacher
who, if you did something wrong, would make you
write a letter of apology to him. If it was
really bad, you'd have to write several. I was
new and didn't really understand the point when
I did something wrong and was told to write five
letters of apology. Not understanding, I wrote
"S O R R Y" He went batshit while I stood there
wondering what the fuck was going on. "But you
said five letters! There are five letters!"
(inflateable)
* PROMOTER - "Kate. I feel I must explain. I was
supposed to be meeting a promoter I had never met
before, in the pub before the gig when you arrived
early. I guess the reason I said what I said was
your short hair, small breasts and gender neutral
clothing. I guess I can't be held completely
responsible but I am sorry that the band all burst
out with laughter and caused you to run out of the
pub when I innocently asked you if you were Geoff
and you replied, "No I'm Kate". They were laughing
at me, not you, I promise."
(PhillieJoe)
>> This Week - SELF IMPORTANT <<
Tell us tales of jumped-up officials, the mad,
old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like
it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps,
pompous bastards and people stuck up their
own arse.
http://b3ta.com/questions/selfimportant/

Nicely done, Tumblr; saving you the effort of

It was 1956.

>> Vine - video loop sharing app <<
This is the week that Twitter launches Vine, a
long-form photo experiment that gives you 6
seconds of video in a loop. Fun to make deffo,
but haven't made up our minds how fun it is to
watch other people's yet. Basically, animated
gifs with sound - You're The Man Now Dog &
Flickr will be a bit peeved if this takes off.
Here's our quick go, giving you a guide to the
cups of our kitchen. Install the app to your
phone if you fancy a play.
http://vine.co/v/b5t9qhrZgZm
>> Porno-postboxes <<
Remember the 'Planning Notices in Brighton'
bloke? Well, he's called Phil Lucas and is an
occasional stand-up comedian, and most recently
has been sticking rude signs to postboxes. Read
them here, before he's arrested on a jumped-up
terrorism charge.

>> Darkest confessions of anonymous creatives <<
We've got a friend who's the creative director
of an ad agency - do you know his secret?
Colour blind. Doesn't dare tell the clients.
http://www.thecreativeconfessional.com/
>> M&S padded man pants <<
Yep, now you can pretend you have a large cock,
rather than the embarrassing smoothness between
your legs that means you've never been with a
lady. Am I right boys? How the fuck this is
right for cosiest of brands M&S isn't for us to

>> Javascript is the new Rock'n'Roll <<
We recently met a gentleman by the name of
Circuit Ben (name changed by deedpoll!) who
makes synths and music circuits for a living.
He recommended we watch a 30-minute-long video
about how to code music in Javascript. This
might not be funny ha ha for everyone, but we
found it fascinating. Love the whole code =
music stuff going on. Overtone is incredible
too, but javascript is easier to pick up and
play, as it's already there in your browser.
http://bit.ly/NlLH5X
>> Teabag Mousepad <<
Frankly frightening video where a child's voice
is overdubbed by some big geezer. Wonder if
there's any instant weirdness doing the idea
the other way round?
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Teabag_Mousepad:2
>> Ice Cream Van vs Prince Harry <<
In one of the most obvious bullshit set-up
scenes ever filmed, pretend hardman Prince "I
bagged a Johnny Foreigner, what ho!" Harry
pulls out of a TV interview to do Army
maneuvers. Nicely mocked with a little bit of
music here.

: B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE
Results from the Gay Robots Challenge
Last week we wanted you to celebrate the
wonderful world of gay robots. Actually, we
didn't because we were worried it would all
turn out a bit homophobic - but it was voted
for and we were stuck with it.
Your favourites included:
* QUIT: like Brokeback Mountain, but
with pixel stetsons (Lumpbucket)
http://www.b3ta.com/board/10913249
* SPACE: rare glimpse of heuristically
programmed algorithmic goatse (drbroon)

homoerotic household (Moon Girl

This week's challenge revisits familiar yet
fertile territory: sausages. Celebrate their
power and meaty magnificence through the gift
of Photoshop. Sausages.
http://www.b3ta.com/challenge/son-of-sausages/
-------------------------------------------------
: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Follow-ups on previous stories.
* HOW THE 'MAJOR KEY VERSION OF MINOR KEY
SONGS' HACK WORKS - spoiler in two words
"Celemony Melodyne" - which isn't the name of
a 14 year old Serge Gainsbourg tried to bugger.
http://bit.ly/XCIBch
-------------------------------------------------
: STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE
Make something cool and tell us about it. If
you are in it then people will see your stuff.
Things we'd really like to see include
* TWITTER BOTS TO CURE TWITTER ADDICTION - Can
someone write a twitter bot that we can follow
that posts every hour, "Hey, you're on twitter
a lot. Haven't you got work to do?" Thanks.
* MORE EFFECTIVE PHONE SCREENING - Phones
should automatically google any incoming number
you don't recognise. We want to be pre-warned
before picking up.
* PENIS SWAPS - Swapping the key noun in an
aphorism with "penis" improves them: beating a
dead penis; wake up & smell the penis; bad
workman blames his penis. No idea where we're
going with this. Oh, absence makes the penis
grow harder.

TOP TIP:
When eating fruit pastilles, as soon as you
find your favourite flavour is next, stop eating
from that end of the packet. Open the other end
and eat from that side instead. That way your
last fruit pastille will be your favourite and
you won't be left with lime-flavoured
disappointment. (Draconacticus)
AND FINALLY - tonynibbles has written an
'advice slip' site that reads like the kind of
stuff we might occasionally stick in as a top
tip. So here you go:
