In a new public service announcement posted to her YouTube channel, comedian Sarah Silverman posted a clip to raise awareness of the wage gap between working men and women. But she did it in the most Sarah Silverman-y way possible.
"I'm Sarah Silverman. Writer, comedian and vagina owner," she says before explaining the wage gap -- that women typically earn 78 cents to every dollar a man makes in almost every profession. She adds the average woman loses around $11,000 annually because of the wage gap.
Her solution to close the wage gap?
"I'm becoming a dude," Silverman says. "In the grand scheme of things it's way less expensive than the money I'll lose having a pusssaay. Plus, I'll finally be able to pee on walls."
A female doctor then pushes a cart over to Silverman, showcasing variety of penises for the comedian to choose from.
There's "the gentleman," "the frat boy," "the Seinfeld," and others. Silverman, asks for something "a little more European," saying, "as a woman I'm extremely sensitive and I expect no less from my dick!"
