Eight admirers of anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange, are being offered the opportunity to dine privately with their idol early next month at an asking price of 350 pounds ($575) per head.
An announcement posted on the auction website E-Bay said the three-hour fund-raising lunch was set for July 2 and Assange would be accompanied by Slavoj Zizek, a Slovenian academic quoted by Wikipedia as calling himself a "radical leftist." The E-Bay announcement described Zizek as a "renowned Slovenian philosopher".
