: CRAB-HEADED MAN TERRORISES LONDON
Here at B3ta, we like to make dreams come true
- and so when Joel Veitch of Rathergood came
to us and said, "Can you make me a huge crab
head and let me run around London?" we said,
"No problem."
See the results, they are pretty cool.

: B3TA CHALLENGE
And this time it's different ...
Each week we run a competition to test your
creative skills. Normally we ask you to
photoshop an image.
This time we thought we'd really stretch you.
We have made a "finger crab" for you to cut
out and wear - a small version of the one
that Joel wore round London this week.
We want you to print it out, wear it, do
something cool & photograph it. Oh, and
show us your results - of course.
We are really excited to see what you can
do.

: IS RUPAUL COMPLETELY MAD?
We interviewed him - and it made no sense.
Do you remember RuPaul? He was the tall black
transvestite who once sang with Elton John on
the "Don't go Breaking my Heart" single.
And now he's back, running his own
weblog - written in a breathlessly bitchy
style.
We got in touch - and his answers were
so nonsensical that it's best if you
just read them and make up your own mind.
B3ta, "Why did you start a weblog?"
RuPual, "i want to serve the children multi
dimension."
B3ta, "What are the best reactions that
it's provoked?"
RuPual, "people sending me money for the
crap i sale."
B3ta, "Can you give us some brief
biographical details?"
RuPaul, "you're a doll! love ya heaps, ru."

: BUFFY SWEARING UPDATE
A couple of weeks ago, we made "Buffy's Swearing
Keyboard."
We've really enjoyed the feedback, our favourite
comment being:
"I'm going to get a T-Shirt made", said Chimp
from uk.media.dvd, "with xylophone buggery
printed on it."
We also got "Site of the Week" in Kerrang!
magazine. This made Joel of Rathergood so
happy, that he went a built a small tribute
to the power of rock.
Watch it - for it features Def Leppard:
