Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits


George Carlin passed away yesterday.



"Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs, dirty words and the demise of humanity, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday. He was 71.

Carlin, who had a history of heart and drug-dependency problems, died at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters.



Known for his edgy, provocative material developed over 50 years, the bald, bearded Carlin achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine called "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television." A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of the routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court."

George in one of his typical walking-the-edge routines. The v. end is particularly funny.



"God is one of the leading causes of death. Has been for a couple of thousand years."

RIP, George. We miss you already.

In the words of LOLcats, I has a sad.

I just found out today (on the blog I read before coming here) that he died this weekend. I will miss his edginess and his willingness to call us ALL out on our shit.
