Random Futurama

Drew Stephens @ 10:36 pm — Tags: ,

I like Futurama. All of it. Though I occasionally have a hankering for a specific episode, I often just want /any/ episode, so I wrote a quick Perl script to play one at random. I have a directory filled with all of Futurama, so this is an easy proposition:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
 
my @files = split /\n/, `ls *avi`;
 
my $num = rand(scalar(@files));
 
system "mplayer "$files[$num]"";

UFC Advertisement on FoodTV

Drew Stephens @ 12:56 am — Tags: ,

Generally the commercials shown on TV are targeted at the viewers of the channel or show in question. Can anyone explain why I see UFC ads on FoodTV? Is there really much overlap in their viewing demographics?
