Praise the Lord for the gift of television

So here I am, sleepless and in coding deadlock. I don't mind getting stuck when I'm trying to do something difficult, but for crying out loud, all I'm trying to do is install a pissy little Perl script to let my students upload their essays. I tried two scripts I downloaded and one which I more-or-less wrote myself. No dice. This is starting to remind me of my one attempt at learning C++, when I failed to compile "Hello World".

Anyway, in frustration, I switch on the TV and find my all-time favourite South Park episode - the rain forest.

There's a place called the rainforest that truly sucks ass!
Let's knock it all down and get rid of it fast!
You say save the rainforest, but what do you know?
You've never been to the rainforest before!

Getting Gay With Kids is here!
To tell you things you might not like to hear!
You only fight these causes cause caring sells!
All you activists can go f**k yourselves!

As a wise friend of mine once said (or rather, sang) "TV is everything."

There is a limit, though. The program about to start is Equus. It's a great play, but I don't think I can handle it at the moment. I'm more in the mood for something like "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" (anyone here remember Kentucky Fried Movie?).
