Re: Borat the movie

I was shocked to see a huge cardboard cutout of Borat advertising the movie in my local cinema back in the summer. Seems to be getting a lot of publicity recently, at least on Digg and the like.

Re: Two Times!!!

I can accept most of the phrases I hear - different parts of England have their own slang too but 'where you at?' is one of the few that gets me. Boost Mobile even use it as their tag line :( .
