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.
 
Wow, just saw this. Didn't think he was 71. What a trailblazer. RIP.

What Big Will said. Damn. Easily one of my favorite comedians of all time.

Thank you for all the laughs at ourselves, society, religion, you name it. Rest in peace for your legacy and memory is entact here on Earth. Come back as bird in your next life so you can poop on all kinds of things and people.
 
According to the MSNBC article his new special, "14th Comedy Special" will air on HBO this Saturday. I don't know if it was planned that way or HBO is airing it early. I will watch it with heavy heart but deep, deep respect and admiration.
 
BigWill left one out. Apparently there is still one word you can't say on the interwebs.

I remember a buddy's mom bought him that album when it came out. We were in elementary school at the time. We listened to that over and over until she heard what we were listening to. She took the album and a nail and scratched out the 7 dirty words track. Left everything else, just that one track.
 
May the Hippy Dippy Weatherman rest in peace.

The first time I saw him he did this bit on Carson. He was truly one of the best.
 
Carlin, Pryor, Kinison, and Hicks are all dead, and yet Carlos Mencia lives. Carlin was right... there is no God.
R.I.P.

Some people don't want you to say this. Some people don't want you to say that. Some people think if you say some things they might come true. Some people are ******* STUPID! God DAMN there are a lot of stupid ******** walking around. Carry around a pad n pencil you'll end up with thirty, forty names by the end of the day. Think of it this way, think how stupid the average person is, then realize half of em are stupider than that.

RIP GC. A true true legendary great.
