Fuck me facts!

Amazing things about June 11:
» In 1939, King George V became the first British King to taste a hot dog when he was served one at a party thrown by President Roosevelt.
» Marc Bolan placed an advert in Melody Maker to recruit T-Rex in 1967. It read: "Freaky lead guitarist, bass guitarist and drummer wanted for marc Bolan's new group. Also, any other astral flyers with cars, amplification and that which never grows in window boxes..."
» Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys put his hand through a window in 1971.
» Joshua Jackson, Pacey out of Dawson's Creek, is 25 today. And Vince Earl – whose Brookside character, Ron Dixon, has suffered a heart attack in every episode since 1996, is 59. Gene Wilder, who freaked out a whole generation of children as Willy Wonka, is 68.

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
