After seeing the great reviews one of my high school acquaintance-cum-Facebook-friend was getting for his "tribute" video to Rebecca Black's "Friday" music video, I had to see what it was all about.

Where once stood self-conscious teens, in their place are now focused, dedicated young actors.

Many lament the decline of the traditional Easter, claiming the spirit of the Holiday is lost in a sea of commercialisation which sees chocolate eggs in supermarkets as early as December. Personally, I have turned a blind eye to this on most occasions.

It’s not all about Crème Eggs and hot cross buns, after all.
