Trey Parker is a twisted little genius.
I don't have much to say about the cost of education but my three years at Oxford ran to $24,000 and that included tuition, room and board, books, travel to the US, a summer around Europe and my drinks bill (although my parents instructed their banker to stop paying it when they found out what it was. Plus, I got a first class education so it was definitely a deal. It was more than the $350 a semester in state tuition that I paid for my one year at Maryland, but it was worth the extra money at the time and still is.
