A sad loss ...

ET breaks the news that comedian George Carlin has died from heart failure. The man who made famous the "seven words you can never say on television" passed away at 5:55 p.m. Sunday at Saint John's Hospital in Santa Monica, his longtime publicist said. He was 71.

Carlin, who has had several heart attacks and a history of cardiac issues, went into the hospital this afternoon after complaining of heart problems.

Carlin has more than 20 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, numerous TV and movie roles, and three best-selling books to his credit. Last year, he celebrated his 50th year in show business, and he had just finished his last HBO special in March, "It's Bad for Ya."

"Whoever you were"

I still can't believe it. He was one of my idols, not to mention easily my favourite comedian. Seems like it wasn't his time, he is immortal :/

Wow, you really don't know shit about George Carlin. He was an amazing comedian who taught me that ANYTHING CAN BE FUNNY. This was my homage to him, my way of paying him my last respects. A real fan would have gotten that.

 

[bobvex]

he didn't die. he "passed away" or "expired"



"Here's something you never hear a man say: 'Stop sucking my dick or I'll call the police.'"

*sniffle*

ceenim, BTW, great live show.

No loss


I never thought George Carlin was funny. Not even a little bit. It wasn't due to his language or anything, whether it was Carlin's lame routine about seven words or his cameos in movies like Dogma, I just thought he was lame, boring, and obvious from the start and never saw any reason to change my opinion. His uttered wisdom, such as it was, seemed design to impress those with average IQs; they were chock full of the illusion of intelligence rather than anything approaching the real thing.

The Original Cyberpunk was impressed by Carlin in his younger years, but he eventually grew out of it. I'm tempted to say that it's amazing how many people never did, but then I reflect back upon that magical moment in Paris and all is right with the world again.

Now, how can I say this? "This book is bad." No, that's inadequate. "This book is stunningly awful." No, still not there. How about, "Carlin's collection of allegedly humorous quips and stories is a week-old turd sautéed in dog vomit over a flaming fart."

Yes, I think that begins to get close to it.
​

UPDATE - CB fails to note the irony in his response: "Honestly Vox, Carlin just died. The body isnt even cold yet and your talking about what hack he was and how his death is 'No Loss'. Have alittle bit of class."

Let me get this straight. An individual who devoted his entire career to tearing down tradition and encouraging disrespect and believed that humans are nothing more than meaningless collections of atoms is no more, so we should therefore, on the basis of the respect traditionally shown for the dead, refrain from discussing him and the quality of his past work as if they were anything more significant than an empty espresso cup or the pile of partially digested intestinal refuse deposited in the backyard by the dog?

I don't think so. Carlin showed no respect, therefore he merits none himself.

This is what we here in the Interbuttz call trolling. This guy is saying this shit in an attempt to offend people and as a result get a lot of attention. Unfortunately, any real Carlin fans know he wouldn't have given a shit
and therefore would just ignore the moron who wrote this Fail moar my friend, fail moar.
