FUCK ME FACTS!

Amazing things about Monday, December 22:
» A total of 2,249 manhole covers were stolen from streets in China in 1987. The thieves demanded ransom money for their return. Could the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles have been involved?
» A study revealed that American primetime and daytime TV significantly under-represented large segments of the population, including women, Hispanics, Asian-Pacific Americans, native Americans, the disabled, and the elderly. Hey! We've just had an excellent idea for a sitcom charting the hilarious mishaps of an Hispanic woman and her disabled Asian-pacific American friend and elderly native American neighbour. We're calling it "The Minority Majority" and it'll be screened twice a day (once during daytime, and once at primetime).
» It's three years to the day that Madonna and Guy Ritchie married in Scotland, under the gaze of carefully selected guests, and some guy hiding in the organ with a video camera.
» Happy birthday to: Noel Edmonds (55), former Deacon Blue frontman Ricky Ross (46), French actress/singer Vanessa Paradis (31), and Brit actor Ralph Fiennes (41).
» Festive fact: If you don't fancy turkey on Thursday, bear in mind Christmas trees are edible (not plastic ones). The needles are a good source of vitamin C, apparently.

About Us

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.
