[Mike Fishcake]

Legendary American comedian George Carlin died yesterday.

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.

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.
