First it was the Daily Show and Stephen Colbert popularizing
news by mixing it with comedy. Next it was Cosmos, with Neil deGrasse Tyson
teaming with Seth Macfarlane in Cosmos to popularize science.
Well, get ready for the next mash-up. FIFA, the
international men's football association, is said to be negotiating with Sarah
Silverman to help make soccer game more popular in the United States by taking
showers with the players.
Ms. Silverman, who portrayed a prostitute in the recent
movie "A Million Ways to Die in the West," who is noted for her use
of sexual humor, and whose full frontal nudity was filmed during a shower scene
for the movie "Take This Waltz" is now believed to be in
"serious negotiations" with FIFA promoters. It is not known at this
time whether she would be showering with individual male players, small groups,
or entire teams.
