Fruit and Veg album covers
The Velvet Underground's Warhol banana is a classic cover. But what if other album covers featured fruit and veg?

Bonus points for real-world re-creations.

A New Flag, or things falling out the sky, you choose.
There's been discussion about how a flag of the UK without Scotland in it would look www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25205017 . With or without, given we can even print pictures on fabric now, perhaps the UK flag does need updating. What should it look like to reflect today's Britain?

Or, if we're feeling gross, what thing falling out of the sky and landing on another thing would make you laugh the most?

If B3ta was run by Mods
Imagine an idyllic future where b3ta was still present, but it was actually run by mods in accordance with the FAQ, and not on personal whims. It might be a stretch, but show us how this might work with pictures.

Background Jokes
Take a famous image, and add something comical or interesting to the background, leaving the foreground as before. Or just add Freebase in a window.

Sell the un-sellable
'Drowning - it's the only way to go!' 'Give your car a unique design with... RUST!' Pick something that nobody wants and create an advert for it.

Celebrity Cover Versions.
Awful celebrity cover versions are my favourite music genre, whether it be the cast of Allo Allo singing "Je t'aime" or that woman who couldn't drive singing "Driving in my car" and making us all laugh to number 54 in the chart.

But what other songs should famous people (or fictional characters) cover? Mock up the cover art / video frames / promotional material.

SCIENCE! through the looking glass -
what if folklore, superstition, religion and general dunderheadedness had won out over SCIENCE! in our modern technology driven culture? how would we attempt to harvest energy? what products would be available and how would they be advertised? how would we be educated and employed? what would politics be like? what medicine would we take for what? laws? what media would we consume? steam driven laptops? what holidays would we celebrate? etc...

Celebrity Headstones
fridgefreezer's suggestion is good, but i reckon it lacks scope. Design a celebrity's headstone (living or dead).
What would be the best memorial to Noel Edmonds, Charlie Chaplin, Barbara Woodhouse?

Design your headstone / funeral
Yeah, morbid I know but Atomic's graveyard scene got me thinking that boring old headstones and sad ceremonies could do with an update.

So, how would you like to go, be remembered, and what would you put on your headstone (other than TOAST (Text On A STone))?

...I'm now wondering if I could write a CDC-headstone into my will, but my other half would kill me.
