I love B3ta...

Living in London, finding small flyers advertising prostitute services are pretty much everywhere on the landscape. (Although being a weirdo, I do fondly remember walking into my first London telephone booth outside London Polytechnic at the tender age of 16 and deciding that that was where I was going to apply to university. Naturally, in the end, I didn't).

So I have been chortling over the last 10 minutes looking at this week's B3ta image challenge - to imagine what it would be like if celebrities and pop culture merged with prostitute flyer cards. Too many great ones to choose from, but the ones for General Zod, Rick Astley, Victoria Wood (?!) and Helen Keller are brilliant...

Lol, this is pretty damn funny. I've got a great one- Charles Nelson Riley. http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/entertainers/charles-nelson-reilly/
Haha, imagine these being passed around as advertisements!

I was reading he first few sentences and laughing, because Vegas is pretty much the same way, with pics of half naked women littering the streets. During the day it looks pretty tacky.

If you like that kind of thing, check out www.somethingawful.com and go to their "Photoshop Phriday" section. Some are boring, most are pretty damn funny.

There was an eps in the first season of Spooks, in which Tom's jilted galpal distributed prostitute cards with his image and contact information all over them. A nasty, but hilarious, revenge, I thought...
