|grep -o pr0n` == pr0n; then
echo 'big brother sees you' | /usr/local/bin/sms_gateway `cat ~/kidsnums.txt`
fi

|grep -o "gossip girl"` == "gossip girl"; then
if test $(( $RANDOM %= 200 )) < 80; then
papaltv --cmd stop
sleep 20
papaltv --cmd cd /Settings/General
sleep 5

fi
fi

::

|grep -o "gossip girl"` == "gossip girl"; do
sleep 5
done
~/speech_synthesis "well wasn't that one a diffy"
sleep 30
~/speech_synthesis "uhuh?, oh yeah I know"
sleep ((60 * 90))
~/speech_synthesis "wow, that was an interesting story about your day. thanks dear."

or... just use it when you lose the tiny remote.

Want more??? Prepared to sell your soul?
----------------------------------------

Well now.. have I got a deal for you. I've included an example class
which tells papaltv how to find your media collection so that you can
even start shows by name.

... but... you have to code your own script. I've kept that crazy stuff
out of the main papaltv module, but it's included in the extra - more
evil module evilpope... no, wait: popeville. Yes... Good... Goood.
