I've just used up both my promotes for George. There is still a massive Carlin archive here, use your promotes, lets keep this guy on the front page all day.

Man that sucks. Way too soon for my liking. I'm going to join in the all-day promote-a-thon.

Sad Was introduced to this guy through a boyfriend. He was one of those blokes who looked good older and balder!

Oh fuck me. This fucking sucks.

irreplaceable *quality

Awarding Raigen with one star point for this contribution to Sift Talk - declared quality by my15minutes.

He was the best. I remember first hearing Carlin's 'Icebox Man' on the Dr. Demento show at around age 7 or 8. He will be missed.

Fuck no. That's terrible

damn - always hard to lose a master. My first real appreciation of the capability of language was thanks to Carlin. 70+ years is a good long time, especially compared to other inspired comedians. Shit. Piss. Fuck. Cunt. Cocksucker. Motherfucker. Tits.

Well, he had a brilliant run, he performed to the very end, his last performance was last weekend. He will be deeply missed. I promoted his excellent "Ten Commandments".

Sad news, indeed. (I’ve promoted Saving the Planet)

I couldn't believe it until I read it in print. I'm crushed.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My girl (karkarlee) and I were just watching all of his stuff the other day, and then this happens! What next! First Johnny Cash, now George Carlin, all my idols are dying off!! Fuck you humanity! Why can't the people who earn my respect live forever!

When I was 9 yrs old, I played the Class Clown album over and over, until I learned how to use foul language properly....Take care George-you made your indelible mark, burned into many a consciousness....Cheers!

I'm glad to see that some other people feel this way. His vidoes never really got great responses here. Good but not great. (although i'm sure they will now)

George Carlin was the only person I ever thought of as being my hero. My parents started me on him before I could speak. I agree with you Jonny, I appreciate language the way I do because of his influence.

Anyway, he's with Joe Pesci and the Big Electron now. I'm not going to let it get to me.

Fuck the FCC.

...and Carrot Top still roams the earth.

No justice.

I say we fulfill his last wish, and drop his body from an airplane, leaving it to lie wherever it may land. Especially if it's the White House lawn.

A great, great comedian.

He has ceased to be, bereft of life, he rests in peace, he has kicked the bucket, hopped the twig, bit the dust, snuffed it, breathed his last, and gone to meet the Great Head of Light Entertainment in the sky, and I guess that we're all thinking how sad it is that a man of such talent, such capability and kindness, of such intelligence should now be so suddenly spirited away at the age of seventy-one, before he'd achieved many of the things of which he was capable, and before he'd had enough fun.

He will be missed, like Mitch Hedberg and Bill Hicks.

I loved the way he played with words.
