FUCK ME FACTS!

We've not had so much of a postcard from Istanbul yet, so as we prepare for a massive sulk, why don't you take a look at these amazing things about Friday, May 14:
» The trademark for Vaseline was registered by Robert A Chesebrough in 1878. But we've just realised we may have been using the goo in entirely the wrong manner - Mr Chesebrough was said to have eaten a spoonful every day. Yuck!
» The cars! The jewels! The babies! Millionaire bummers Barrie Drewitt and Tony Barlow baptised their two babies at a church in Essex four years ago following a high profile surrogacy saga.
» Ah, bof! Staff at Disneyland Paris went on strike three years ago after a spate of thefts. The most heartless crime was when les oreilles were wrenched from la souris dont le nom était Mickey.
» Bill Cosby said he was not happy with ratings for The Cosby Show in 1997. 1997?! If it lasted that long, could somebody please explain why Rudy never aged beyond 11?
» Elvis Presley was rushed to hospital suffering from chest pains in 1957, after the porcelain cap from one of his front teeth became lodged in his lung after he swallowed it.
» Happy birthday to: Reservoir Dogs actor Tim Roth (43), New Kids on the Block member Danny Wood (33), and we've-forgotten-exactly-what-it-is-she's-meant-to-be-now wifey Martine McCutcheon (28).

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.
