This Week: - Misheard Lyric Animations - B3ta Image Challenge - Pygmy Shrew News ------------------------------------------------- ___ ____ __ ___ / _)|_ // /_/ _ | / _ |/_ </ __/ __ | /____/____/\__/_/ |_| B3ta Issue 13 - 12 OCT 2001 - MISHEARD LYRICS ------------------------------------------------- : Subscribe Send blank mail to [email protected] ------------------------------------------------- We are utterly stupid - and often mishear song lyrics as something entirely different. "Like a Bat Out of Hell" = "Like a Battery Chicken" - you know the type of thing. B3ta member Joel Veitch - creator of The Frightened Boy - has recently been exploring this area to great effect with his "Simply Red having Sex with a Rabbit" series of animations. So we joined up with him to make some more... ------------------------------------------------- : MISHEARD LYRIC ANIMATION SPECIAL .. Bronski Beat, Madonna, The Beatles, Elvis Joel & B3ta have been swearing at the computer all day to get this stuff to work - so click away and have some fun. Bronski Beat - Hit that Perfect Beat http://b3ta.com/meatball/ Madonna - Erotic http://www.rathergood.com/bill.swf The Beatles - She's got a Ticket to Ride http://www.rathergood.com/chicken.swf Elvis - Blue Suede Shoes http://b3ta.com/monkey/ (BTW: We are interested in ideas for more, send them to http://www.b3ta.com/mailus/ - or make your own) ------------------------------------------------- : B3TA CHALLENGE - WINNER .. Photoshop this penguin .. We have been having a lot of fun on the B3ta message board this week. We challenged our friends to take a picture of a baby penguin and mess it up in Photoshop. See the results: http://www.b3ta.com/board/1/5/1/9/ The Winner: Sean's Hitchcockian Animation http://seanizer.free.fr/splash.gif (BTW: Sean is an American living in Berlin, Germany - and once won a Bloggie award for his "disturbing search requests" web site.) ------------------------------------------------- : B3TA CHALLENGE - NEW ONE .. Photoshop this Echidna .. This week we have a new challenge, Photoshop this Echidna. (BTW: an Echidna is small australian mammal related to the Platypus.) http://b3ta.com/board/1/7/5/3/ Remember - this isn't about artistic excellence - but about making a little gag. ------------------------------------------------- : PYGMY SHREW NEWS .. Sting the little bastard - until he dies. Pox - the guys behind the heavily forwarded Pygmy Shrew animation - have put up a fun new "activity." It's a cute little animation where you can click on the shrew and sting him with a bee. Go on - kill him: http://www.pygmyshrew.com/ Watch the old shrew animation: http://www.pox.co.uk/ ------------------------------------------------- : SIMPLY RED RABBIT SEX .. more misheard lyric animations ..

World Trade Center Game There have been a lot of games created about the WTC Disaster, and almost all have them have been unplayable and in poor taste. This game breaks the mold - it's actually good - a variation on the classic arcade game Missile Command. (But it's still in poor taste...) Play it: http://uzinagaz.com/index.php ------------------------------------------------------- : SEND US STUFF! .. your work, your links, whatever .. We are always interested in hearing from people who are attempting to make cool things on the web. Say hello at http://www.b3ta.com/mailus/
