The best of non-profit advertising and marketing for social causes

Sell The Vatican, Feed The World

Posted by Marc | 13-10-2009 21:39 | Category: Poverty, Third world

Sarah Silverman’s ambitious plan for feeding the world.

“What is the Vatican worth? Like 500 billion dollars? This is great! Sell the Vatican, take a big chunk of that money, build a gorgeous condominium for you and all of your friends to live in - all the amenities: swimming pool, tennis court, water slide. And with the money leftover, feed the whole fucking world. You preach to live humbly and I totally agree, so now maybe it’s time for you to move out of your house that is a city. On an ego level alone you will be the biggest hero in the history of ever.”
