Think up some new ones and show us through the magic of pictures. http://b3ta.com/challenge/newolympicsports/popular ------------------------------------------------- : STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE Three, sorry, four ideas to start you off * ON THIS DIARY - There are probably enough famous people's diaries out there to make a little snapshot of the world on the day of your birth. What did Andy Warhol, Tony Benn and Michael Palin do on the day you were born? * QR DECODES - We had a Guerrilla marketing campaign idea for @fesshole that we're too lazy to do: make QR codes for some of the grimmest ones and print them out on 1" square stickers and walk around London adding them to other people's ads. Either you do it, or nick the idea to promote something else. * RICHARD DAWKINS SKETCH - we do wonder if his hit books were filled with digressions like this* that some editor threw out as being "best not, ok Richard?" (* look up Tweet ID 324443969884925953) * WHICH AGE OF DOCTOR WHO ARE YOU? - plug in your age and it tells you, at your age you would be Tom Baker filming Logopolis. Obviously this only works if you're aged 27-59 and it struggles with anyone aged 33. Shit in our mailbox if you must: https://b3ta.com/mailus ------------------------------------------------- : PATREON THANKS We love all these people.
