HALP

UK (and possibly other countries) people! Why is there such a dearth of things to watch on your internet? I can't watch Netflix, I can't watch Hulu, I can't watch South Park, I can't watch Project Runway, I can't watch the Daily Show or Colbert. This is upsetting! Is there a trick to get around this, or am I doomed to a lack of media while here?

ETA: solution found! Though continue to leave good tips, if you have any.
