 : LADY DI, CLIFF RICHARD & THE VENGABOYS
   .. the most offensive thing ever made.
   On the net, filth is king. Nothing gets passed
   around an office quicker than an offensive link.
   In the spirit of this, Joel from Rathergood
   has attempted to make the sickest animation
   ever. It features the UK singer Cliff Richard
   having sex with the corpse of Lady Diana.
   Make sure you turn your sound on, else you'll
   miss the song, "You know you fucking love it,
   You dirty fucking slag-bag."

   Joel says, "After making this evil, I felt the
   need to balance my Karma by making something
   calm. Here's my proposal for what should
   replace the Twin Towers."

 : LOOK! CUTE LITTLE KITTENS!
   Fraser Lewry is 35, and has quite a history.
   He helped found XFM radio, and used to work
   for the goth/pop group, The Cure.
   And now? He's discovered the simple power
   of photographs of kittens.
   He's made a web page featuring kittens,
   kittens and more kittens.
   Fraser says, "People will happily sit
   clicking away just to see different images.
   Especially if you only have cute little
   kittens."
   Cute.

 : FLASH CHALLENGE - WINNER!
   Two weeks ago we asked you to submit your flash
   videos to a kazoo version of Kernkraft 400's
   Zombie Nation.
   The entries flooded it. Well, about 5 or 6
   anyway.
   The best was Kaptain Kimbo's work. We
   particularly enjoyed the literal interpretation
   of the song theme.
