Every week we ask as question, the best and funniest answers appearin in the newsletter.
Vote on one of the following from your suggestions:
Weather stories: A tree snapped in half in the wind and narrowly missed my house yesterday. Tell us extreme weather stories, or just how your commute now takes an extra ten minutes and they're all out of porridge in Pret by the time you get there.
Nepotism: So, it turns out the boss's son is "good with computers" and got the job you applied for. Get it out here.
Late: Tell us about when you were late. How much trouble did it cause and when will the divorce be finalised?
Acting out your Fantasies: Don't believe a word what people say about threesomes. They're much too like hard work. Have you ever tried acting out your fantasies (sexy or otherwise)? How did it go?
Vote closes after lunch.

NEW IMAGE CHALLENGE: SHIT PREQUELS
This week's challenge is to pretend you're a useless movie mogul, and create shit and pointless Hollywood prequels. Challenge suggested by HappyToast Mictoboy.

I realise I'm in the minority but this is the 3rd movieposter \o/s so far this year, there's trillions of images and videos on the interwebs why restrict challenges to movieposter \o/s? Is this part of rebranding b3ta.com to movieposter\o/s.com to gain advertising revenue? ps did I mention movieposter \o/s?

I think if you and Mofaha were to suggest a collaboration of your Cock Knee idea and his Fall Fashion joke it might be an image challenge that quickly gains in popularity

there's no requirement to use posters.
you could do a scene from a made up film, advertising merchandise, a newspaper review.

mainly because it's a guarantee of *some* decent entries
it's relatively easy to come up with a joke and find good source images,
so it'll hopefully boost user interaction and page visits. B3ta is dying on it's arse and has been for a while

I'm obviously in the minority I know that and it's ok now and then but 50% of this years challenges have been movieposter \o/s
I just find it boring regurgitating the same old posters again and again, I love to see new fresh and original pics

True and I never do movie poster \o/s for that very reason
but I like to show my appreciation for other peoples works with comments and clicks, movie poster \o/s bores my tits off

Shit prequels is good, but
perhaps drop the "hollywood" bit if it wins, so it can be extended to other media and not have two movie-only ones in a row.

star wars
we all know "shit prequels" is going to end up about two thirds "hilarious" phantom menace and attack of the clones posters. and one third revenge of the sith.

Apparently it's by way of being an in-joke among the movie sound community...
Clearly there are a few (Star Wars, Indiana Jones) where it's practically mandatory to include a Wilhelm, but there are others where it seems a bit more under the radar, similar to how a graphic designer* might try and sneak a goatse or something similarly meme-worthy into a branding project.
