George Carlin

George Carlin died yesterday of heart failure.  He was 71 years old, but had the mouth of a 18 year old sailor.

Famous for his 7 words you can’t say on TV.  Well, since I’m paying for bandwidth and hosting here, I can say anything I want.  So, this is for you George:

Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, Tits.

There you have it.

Those seven words took Carlin to the Supreme Court in 1978.  According to Wikipedia, he lost in a 5-4 decision which allowed the government to censor him on the airwaves.

I hope he’s turning St Peter’s ears blue at the pearly gates right now.
