My friend and I went to see the Borat film last night and it is hilarious! There are too many hilarious moments to mention but suffice to say I was not disappointed and it was well worth seeing.

The cinema was full and the audience were laughing from start to finish. There is no shortage of cringowrthy moments either; where does Cohan get the gaul to do what he does?

The jibes at Kazakstan being backward are very over-the-top; you'd have to be a moron to believe them - I don't know what all the fuss was about.

With Hollywood still churning out the usual Jack Black / Ben Stiller / Adam Sandler comedy tripe it's refreshing to see a genuinely clever and funny comedy.

The details you provide are ingredients; it's a nice original approch to an otherwise unoriginal concept. Let's hope this unique angle proves successful for the Pink Toffee team.

I found this link that details the steps a Photoshop artist would typically go through to retouch a model photo so it looks good enough to go on a magazine cover. The difference is staggering and it's all the more impressive so if you're a Photoshop artist.

It's a fairly high-level description but it's interesting all the same.

I found this website via Google that let's you create GIFs that are useful to display while loading data through AJAX.
