George Carlin Dies at Age 71

Comedian George Carlin died of heart failure at 5:55 p.m. today at Saint John's Hospital in Santa Monica. It was announced a few hours later, shortly before 9 p.m., by his publicist. He was admitted into the hospital for chest pains earlier in the afternoon.
In honor of the comic genius who made millions laugh, loved words and called bullshit when it was needed during his 50-year career on and off stage (he had a few books), here are a few of his most popular videos of him from YouTube, including his famous "seven words you can't say on television" monologue.

I agree with Ali, Will, and db. Excessive partying and swearing included, George Carlin kept it real like nobody else.

Whenever he said "live a little" it always resonated with me.
I ran a red in the middle of Beverly Hills for you tonight, George. RIP

"I don't have any beliefs or allegiances. I don't believe in this country, I don't believe in religion, or a god, and I don't believe in all these man-made institutional ideas"
You will be missed, Mr. Carlin.

I think this may be the first time ever in my life where when a celebrity died, I felt sad.

He also had the balls to say all clergy were money grubbing / non-tax paying / bull-shit artists.
