: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS WEEK
  Other than huffing our own farts

  >> Kangaroo Song <<
  Pi Bennett writes, "Sorry not really a funny
  one, but it has got a kangaroo in space..."
  This clearly wants to be the next Baby Shark
  song, but is undermined by melancholy harmonies
  which makes us like it. Poor sad Kangaroo,
  jumping around, whilst knowing capitalism will
  end us all.
https://b3ta.com/links/Kangaroo_Song

  >> Fesshole Ipsum << 
  LiamBlizard writes, "I made a Lorem Ipsum
  generator from fesshole confessions." This is
  brilliantly shit idea, in that using horrible
  confessions as your test copy is asking for
  trouble. 
https://fessholeipsum.com

  >> Riveting fishing documentary <<
  Rough Glory Films writes, "I made a docudramedy
  about 2 old clowns in a Spanish fishing village
  - we had tears and laughs in test screenings
  but it's length (39:46) is tricky for film
  festivals to programme, which is a shame cos
  it's got some good bits."

-------------------------------------------------

Twitter is a dating service for matching
strangers with the hills that they didn't know
they wanted to die on

-------------------------------------------------

: FESSHOLLE
  Your horrible confessions, confessed
  
  * HIGH FLYER - "I microdose with LSD at work to
  make my life a little bit less boring. I am a
  commercial pilot."

  * KINDERGARTEN COP - "Whenever people I know
  post pictures of their kids I report the
  picture as spam/fake account/etc because I hate
  kids."

  * FACE/OFF "My boss once caught me in his
  office trying to photocopy my face. While
  apologising, I couldn't quite make a smooth
  exit due to the temporary blindness caused by
  the photocopier."

  Fesshole has had 82,012 words submitted so far,
  making it the same length as Anne Frank's
  diaries and just as likely to make you weep for
  the tragedy that is man's inhumanity to man.

  Confess your fessfessions NOW!

-------------------------------------------------

We hope the singer of the Pet Shop Boys gets
knighted so the Queen can say, "KNEEL, TENNANT!" 

-------------------------------------------------

: SITES IN BRIEFS 
  Stuff made by people better looking that us 
  
  * TEXTY GAME - A game made out of ascii art. 
  We didn't bother with many of the game
  elements, and just wandered around thinking how
  lovely it looked.
http://asciident.com/demo/

  * WORDY PUZZLE - an easter egg-heavy word
  puzzle. This killed our productivity until we
  completed it.
https://rubyleehs.itch.io/startwithnothing

  * YOUNG CHRIS MORRIS - we enjoyed this footage
  of an extraordinarily young Chris Morris
  playing bass. 
https://reckordmedia.files.wordpress.com/2018/03/e...

  * LP COVERS MINUS WOMEN - Iranian music
  streaming site removes all women from LP covers
  and the result looks like a B3ta image
  challenge.
https://www.demilked.com/women-removed-from-album-...

  * WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU NUKE A CITY? You'll not
  be surprised that it's bad, but the detail is
  fun. Let's nuke Coventry.
https://www.youtube.com/watch

  * DR WHO POLITICIANS - Awful politicians and
  their 1972-1981 Doctor Who counterparts
  (thread):
https://twitter.com/Dempster2000/status/1185157065...

-------------------------------------------------

When Michael Jackson asks "who's bad?" We reply
"the Tories". Excellent satire. Send newsletter.

-------------------------------------------------

  >> This week: IKEA <<
  Let's take a trip to everyone's favourite
  impossible to navigate, flat pack megastore.
  Celebrate the wonder of IKEA from it's iconic
  instruction manuals to its billy bookshelves
  and tasty meatballs.
http://b3ta.com/challenge/ikea/popular/

-------------------------------------------------

Which member of Queen would you like as a
flatmate?

We asked 2,000 people this important question and
here are the results:

Roger Taylor: 11%
Freddie Mercury: 24%
Brian May: 26%
John Deacon: 38% 

Deacon smashed it mainly because people think we
would be quiet and sort out the bills.

  What happened next in b3ta-land
  
  * ROUND HAS HIT WITH CIRCLE - Matthew Round
  writes, "I launched VOLE.wtf in August hoping
  to nudge upwards from 100ish views a day to
  maybe a steady flow of 1,000 after some time if
  I kept adding things. It just reached half a
  million page views. Maybe there's still a place
  for quirky standalone websites after all"
http://VOLE.wtf

  * B3TAN TURNS POPULAR PHOTOSHOP INTO "PRODUCT"
  - "I've only gone and done it. I've made a
  #WagathaChristie Guess Who insert for this
  kid's version of the game"
https://twitter.com/JimmerUK/status/11833685854581...

  * NEW FEATURES ON /BOARD - Thanks to Wil Hadden
  for improving how replies work on the board on
  mobile. Three cheers for Wil. (Cheers. Cheers.
  Cheers.)

-------------------------------------------------

Thinking about getting a penis extension. Thought
about it long and hard.

-------------------------------------------------

: STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE
  Make some content, for cunts' ent(ertainment) 

  * NERD OLYMPICS - There should be a competition
  for cassette enthusiasts and retro computing
  nerds where they compete to load Manic Miner in
  the shortest time via tape, using high
  bit-rates and finely tuned tape decks etc.

  * MATCH UNWANTED BOOKS WITH READERS - Media
  outlets get sent books they don't want. Public
  do want books. Match them up. And you
  absolutely do not get a second book unless you
  submit a review for the first.

  * PAP GAP - A Chrome plug-in that estimates
  from visual grain how far away the paparazzi
  shot of the celeb was taken.

  Best your best to:
