R.I.P. George Carlin

George Carlin, the influential comedian whose routines used profanity, scatology and absurdity to point out the silliness and hypocrisy of human life, has died. He was 71.



"It just sounds like a very self-serving kind of word. I don't want to go around describing myself as a 'groundbreaker' or a 'difference-maker' because I'm not and I wasn't." "But I contributed to people who were saying things that weren't supposed to be said."

-George Carlin
1937-2008
