I've read several "Now he's burning in HELL!" posts on the Internet today, and they're inspiring a special kind of contempt within me which has not heretofore been directed toward asshole Internet posters.

The spirit of George Carlin compels you!

".........and he loves you."
 
Damn. He was my number one favorite comic. My brothers saw him a couple of years ago saying, "they wanted to see him before he was dead." So did I but I didn't think it would be this soon.



I really, really hope he wrote his own obituary. The one he wrote for his mom is hilarious.
 
Dammit.... this is the first celebrity death I can think of in ages that has truly bummed me out.
He was my favorite comedian... going to watch some DVDs tonight... :(

RIP George.

Posts like that really make me wonder if Pascal's wager is the only reason why religion persists.
 
Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, Tits.

R.I.P., man.

I have to wonder who's the 3rd person with an interesting perspective on things we're gonna lose soon?

That sucks, Carlin was amazing. Certainly in my top 3 of all time. :( At least he lived to a decent age.

No, has nothing to do with that.

Years ago he ruled. One of the funniest comedians ever. In his old age, he slipped and got preachy and boring (probably got real appealing to this side of GAF as a result). He was far less appealing to his general audience as time progressed. I go to a stand up comedy show to be entertained, not preached to. Carlin lost my respect a long time ago. I'm not obligated to be a parrot like the rest either.
I'm sure everyone is very impressed with your stand against topical comedy and acceptance of only observational/non-political humor. Not to mention your usage of a memorial thread to declare your loss of "respect" towards comedians who venture into dangerous topics like politics and religion rather than sticking to "missing left sock" horseshit.

I know I am.

Same. This is terrible. I'm glad I got to see him live four years ago and was able to talk with him after the show for a bit. Really cool guy.
