<p>Last night on HBO&#8217;s <em>Real Time with <b>Bill Maher</b></eM> she debuted what appears to be her new viral campaign. Get ready to hear a lot about &#8220;Sell the Vatican, Feed the World.&#8221;<span id="more-33671"></span></p>
<p>The concept begins with Silverman explaining why she wants &#8220;grossy, sick, emaciated people&#8221; off her TV and &#8220;out of her apartment.&#8221; But it quickly turns semi-serious, as she reveals her hypothesis:</p>
<blockquote><p>Who is more primed to be our hero than the Pope? He&#8217;s literally a caped crusader. 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 your friends to live in, all the amenities, swimming pool, tennis court, waterslide, and with the money left over, feed the whole f&#8211;king world.</p></blockquote>
<p>So far there doesn&#8217;t appear to be a website set up, or even a clean YouTube version of the clip, which is a little surprising. But here&#8217;s a first look:<br />
