    George Carlin RIP

    Legendary American comedian George Carlin died yesterday.

    http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2008/0...lin_dies_at_71

    For those of you that don't know who he is, he's the guy that came up with the "Seven Words You Can Never Say on TV" routine* and subsequently got arrested for it. One of the few comics who could legitimately claim to pushing the boundaries of comedy.

    Rest In Peace George.

    * Look it up, I think the admin team would über-ban me if I quoted it here

    Sad news, I thought he was a lot younger than 71 though.

    Sad to see him go, I was a big fan of his stand up and have a fair few of his DVDs... need to remember to get Dogma, he is good in that

    Forerunner to Bill Hicks and the like, great comedian, I was only thinking about him yesterday too and how I should really get some of his stand-up. Great man who I'm genuinely sad to see die.
