Sarah Silverman Bombs at a Corporate Gig


You know, some people might read this article and think that Sarah Silverman was out of line for talking about adopting a retarded baby with a terminal illness so that she wouldn't have to take care of it when you're 80. And by some, I mean really churchy uptight women who think sex is a picture of Fabio and that intercourse is too messy and smells funny.
Apparently there is an annual conference called TED that invites scientists, philosophers, and world leaders to come and talk about why they are such self important assholes and even though an entire portion of the conference is dedicated to technology,  no one was able to type "Sarah Silverman" into a Google search box and then click on "video" before offering her a fuck-ton of money to perform.
I mean, if they had hired somebody off of www.comedy.com with a huge bow tie and a puppet with a name like "Phil E. Dangerously", I could understand their surprise. But Sarah Silverman is famous for nothing other than obscenely offensively funny material. She has her own show on Comedy Central that does entire episodes about queefing. Why on earth would anybody think she was going to show up and do jokes about her boyfriend leaving the toilet seat up?

PS- Is there anything gayer sounding than a "Twitter War"? What is the difference between that and a You Tube comments flame? And Steve Case can cut the shit. What a burn! You're as lame as the AOL you founded.
