george carlin died

Postby roach » Mon Jun 23, 2008 10:44 am

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

Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. 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, Carlin achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine about seven dirty words you could not say on television.

He made me laugh. A good stint at 71 though, fair play to him.

Well shit. That really pisses me off. I mean, what the fuck? First Russert and now one of my favorite cocksuckers on the planet. I mean you would have to be a real cunt to not appreciate Carlin. I hope that motherfucker died happy with his nose buried in a line of coke between a great pair of tits.
I like connecting things.

he was probably the first "bad" comedian that really made me laugh (as in, not bill cosby, who was the first stand up comedian i ever loved... only his stuff from the 70s though).

he probably actually shaped a lot of my personality, i watched/read a lot of his stuff when I was like 12. so it goes.

watched Lenny with the neighbor the other night. not the most historically correct movie, but good. I'm ready to see a movie called George.
