IVOD: Sarah Silverman Sells The Vatican
This video's been bouncing around the interwebs lately. Sarah Silverman debuted it on Bill Mahr's show Friday night. It's her talking about her plans to end world hunger. Mostly, it involves selling the Vatican. I find it funny. Then again I find anything she does funny.
This has been getting mixed reviews. Do you think it's funny?

Sell the Vatican? Funny, but in reality that would be counterproductive. All the same, Sarah's funny.
Like you, I find anything Sarah Silverman does funny, and this is no exception. It all makes perfect sense to me.
I usually think she's pretty lame, but this one is decent.
I love her. This is great.
It's a hit or a miss with Sarah, really. Sometimes she's funny and sometimes she's not.
hahaha I love that bitch.
It's entertaining,
sometimes she's funny, but sometimes she's not, in my opinion.
still a great idea, though! sell the vatican! i see nothing wrong in it...i mean, what power-hungry billionaire wouldn't want to own the center of whatever the vatican is the center of (i believe it's some branch of christianity?)?
haha i do believe though that feeding malnourished children all over the world is far more important than it will ever be for someone to live in a rich-ass house that's a fucking city (or anything of the sort, for that matter).
I thought this was funny. sometimes shes funny, sometimes she's not
isn't she jewish? and she wants to sell the vatican, an important christian place of worship...
Yes
@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - CO SIGN! Fucking love her.
The Vatican is the last standing kingdom. Whomever the Pope is is pretty much the king of the world. I mean WE PAY TAXES TO THE VATICAN. Google it.
Nope.
watching this just kicked me a few points down on my next iq test. maybe u americans find this funny, but to europeans this is let's-kick-her-ass-for-saying-this material
@Synhyborex@xanga - seriously?
one word: HISTORY. i know the states don;t have much of it, but u make a hassle even of the tiniest bit of history and culture u have...which rooted in europe. BIG WONDER there.
the vatican is a huge part of italian, european and christian history. just thinking this monstrosity up goes to show how stupid americans really are. if u had even seen the place u;d know how wrong it is. if u identified with it culturally the way i do, u'd poit out how wrong this is to clueless idiots like u. i don't mean to be offensive, but please, get real. u americans still moan and cry over the twin fucking towers. should europeans be slashing our veins over all the landmarks we;ve lost? NO...cos we're smart enough to make new ones and protect the ones remaining from the past.

@kaos_calle@xanga - First, please don't stereotype everyone by using the blanket "you americans" statement. Only a moron would lump an entire nation into one mindset. Twin towers? I couldn't care less.
Second, learn how to take a joke. When I said it all makes perfect sense, I'm obviously kidding, just as Sarah Silverman is kidding. Selling the Vatican is a joke, anyone who agrees is obviously joking, so please stop being so damn serious and
jumpy about something that was done as a comedy bit for a tv show. No one really wants to sell your history, you can breathe easy.
Just because someone says something you don't agree with, it doesn't mean we're serious. So please, feel free to not come running to the rescue of the Vatican armed with your history lessons. It really doesn't surprise me you reacted this way, though. After all, you're the one who said the states don't have much history, that shows me just how clueless you really are anyway.
@kaos_calle@xanga - it's not so much the buildings people are upset over. it's kind of, ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DIED in them.
@kaos_calle@xanga - You know, I've been to the Vatican. Not so great. It's ostentatious and gauche. I mean, love the whole roof design, but you ever think maybe jesus would want to burn the place down? Man walked around in sandals and simple garb. Not a big fan of you know having whole cities be your house.
On a more serious note I find it interesting that you think your HISTORY in a few goddamn buildings is more important that millions of lives around the world. But you're right. Buildings more important. Fuck the poor, if they didn't want to be hungry, they wouldn't be poor. The Vatican is just a city built to honor a religion based on the teachings of some one who repeatedly said feed the poor. But much more important we honor the HISTORY of .... well, other than the paintings I can't really see how the Vatican is all that important. Walk 3 blocks, you'll find older buildings with more history.
@kaos_calle@xanga - Yes, seriously. That video is hilarious. And just because you can't take the joke doesn't mean you can jump to the "all Americans are stupid assholes" generalization.
No one really cared about the Twin Towers themselves. They were only an awesome feat of engineering, that's all. Oh, with our family members inside. On a day that should have been like any other day. But yeah, what kind of importance is that?
Way to call everyone out and remind us silly Americans that we don't know what we're talking about.
@kaos_calle@xanga - you know, you should check up on who you're ranting to and about. for your information, i've been to the vatican three times in my life already, so i'm quite aware as to its cultural significance. YOU just sound like an angry idiot that can't deal with people's opinions. as for the twin towers, i couldn't care less than i ever did. nothing good came out of it, anyway. stop lumping all americans into the same damn category and learn to respect people's opinions--maybe one day you'll get something out of it.
6 Ways
to Enjoy Your Breasts
Your boobs are wily little
seductresses. They poke proactively out of bikini tops, peek over lacy push-up bras, and flaunt
their fabulousness naked in bed—turning any red-blooded heterosexual male into
a panting pile of mush.
But what most women don't realize is that their boobs can give
them heaps of satisfaction too. "The majority of research is geared toward
keeping breasts
healthy, and not nearly enough is known about how women
can enjoy their breasts
during sex," says Debby Herbenick, Ph. D., a sexual-health educator at the
Kinsey
Institute at Indiana University.

certain clothes that brings out our inner hottie.
Most of us have one or two items in our wardrobes that draw out our inner goddess.
It's as though you're wearing a superhero suit - and your superpower is sex
appeal. For DJ Suga it's what she calls her 'goddess dress'. 'Whenever I wear
my red Grecian-style dress I just want to strut. The V-neck plunges
just enough to create a sexy line without showing too much and the bold red
color ups the sexy-goddess factor.'

@kaos_calle@xanga -
I don't know where to begin with you. If anything is to be learned from history, it is that we don't learn from history. So we go on trying to learn from history. The Vatican is a good example. Fine, don't learn from the example of Jesus. Don't feed the poor. Instead, go build buildings worth millions or billions, then put inordinate emphasis on the tradition and culture displayed in the architecture, instead of the tenets of the faith supposedly propagated by those who erected them.
How is this different than the Twin Towers? The Wall Street elite that had it built and used it live(d) lives chasing the dollar, and never claimed to have a single care for the needy. I know, overly simplistic, but the point stands.
The Europeans just don't get it. This is HUMOR; plain and simple. If you don't get that, you deserve to re-live Hitler. Oops the Vatican supported Hitlerism. Befor, during and after the war...
