We think a good challenge idea is like the opening line of a joke, say "If ads told the truth... Guinness would say 'It makes you fat, and your shit turn black.'"
Maybe you have other ideas.
We're going to leave this thread open, so feel free to add ideas at any time. BTW: Please use the "i like this" button. Your voting really helps the good ideas bubble-up, and the very best will be used in the Image Challenge itself.

What would happen if you took all the words from Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid", put them inside a Boggle cube and then put said Boggle cube into a tumble-drier for 15 minutes? Photoshop what the resulting storyline would be, ok?

Play God, and come up with something new. Is it land based, aquatic, airborne or all three? How has it adapted to its environment, what does it feed on, why have you drawn its penis so big?

Photoshop something into an image so that it sets your teeth on edge.
A painting hanging wonky, David Cameron's face, whatever really gets your goat.

In the case of women it's excessive amounts of cushions, candles, pebbles, etc. Men? Tools and gadgets. Most of this stuff isn't used or maybe used once and then left to gather dust. Illustrate alternative uses for this clutter.

When I get sent Xmas cards, I like to draw stuff on them, basic things like monsters, cocks, monster cocks, that sort of thing. Why not have it as a competition, take Standard Xmas cards and deface them to make them better/worse?

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.

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?

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.

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.
