 Pacifica received a citation from the FCC, which sought to fine the company for violating FCC regulations which prohibited broadcasting "obscene" material. .The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the FCC action, by a vote of 5 to 4, ruling that the routine was "indecent but not obscene", and the FCC had authority to prohibit such broadcasts during hours when children were likely to be among the audience.^ HENDRA: One of the things about that particular routine, and in fact, I’m sure that you are proud of, was that it has actually become the basis of a Supreme Court decision.

 ^ There was one complaint; they were sanctioned by the FCC. They appealed it to the District Court of New York, where the station won a 2 to 1 District Court decision, then it went to the Supreme Court where it won 5 to 4.

The controversy only increased Carlin's fame. Carlin eventually expanded the dirty-words theme with a seemingly interminable end to a performance (ending with his voice fading out in one HBO version, and accompanying the credits in the Carlin at Carnegie special for the 1982-83 season), and a set of 49 web pages[39] organized by subject and embracing his "Incomplete List Of Impolite Words".

.Although raised in the Roman Catholic faith (which he describes anecdotally on the albums FM & AM and Class Clown), Carlin became an atheist and often denounced the idea of a God in interviews and performances, notably with his "Religion" and "There Is No God" routines as heard in You Are All Diseased.^ God bless you, George Carlin.

 This was later mentioned in You Are All Diseased, along with the statement that he prayed to Joe Pesci (a good friend of his) because "He's a good actor," and "looks like a guy who can get things done!"[54]
In his HBO special Complaints and Grievances, Carlin introduced the "Two Commandments," a revised "pocket-sized" list of the Ten Commandments ending with the additional commandment of "Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself."[55]

Themes

.Carlin's material falls under one of three self-described categories: "the little world" (observational humor), "the big world" (social commentary), and the peculiarities of the English language (euphemisms, doublespeak, business jargon); all sharing the overall theme of (in his words) "humanity's bullshit", which might include murder, genocide, war, rape, corruption, religion and other aspects of human civilization.^ George's keen observations and brilliant use of language was accessible to all senses of humor.

 He was known for mixing observational humour with larger, social commentary. His delivery frequently treated these subjects in a misanthropic and nihilistic fashion, such as in his statement during the Life is Worth Losing show:
“ I look at it this way... .For centuries now, man has done everything he can to destroy, defile, and interfere with nature: clear-cutting forests, strip-mining mountains, poisoning the atmosphere, over-fishing the oceans, polluting the rivers and lakes, destroying wetlands and aquifers...^ For centuries now, man has done everything he can to destroy, defile, and interfere with nature: clear-cutting forests, strip-mining mountains, poisoning the atmosphere, over-fishing the oceans, polluting the rivers and lakes, destroying wetlands and aquifers...

George Carlin in Trenton, New Jersey April 4, 2008
Language was a frequent focus of Carlin's work. .Euphemisms that in his view seek to distort and lie and the use of language he felt was pompous, presumptuous, or silly were often the target of Carlin's routines.^ I was 11, and in spite of the language used in his routine, I still got away with watching him on an HBO special, because he WAS SO FUNNY! Although I disagreed with his political and religious views, I still enjoyed his comedy, and I am sad to see him go.

 .When asked on Inside the Actors Studio what turned him on, he responded "Reading about language".

.Carlin also gave special attention to prominent topics in American and Western Culture, such as obsession with fame and celebrity, consumerism, Christianity, political alienation, corporate control, hypocrisy, child raising, fast food diet, news stations, self-help publications, patriotism, sexual taboos, certain uses of technology and surveillance, and the pro-life position,[56] among many others.^ So this was a comedian I grew up with - and despite all the other comedians out there on Comedy Central, on sitcoms, in movies - I've never found one like Carlin who gave such great social commentary.

Internet hoaxes

.Since the birth of spam email on the internet, many chain-forwards, usually rant-like and with blunt statements of belief on political and social issues and attributed to being written (or stated) by George Carlin himself, have made continuous rounds in the junk email circuit.^ George Carlin is irreplaceable, touching many.

 The website Snopes, an online resource that debunks historic and present urban legends and myths, has extensively covered these forgeries. .Many of the falsely-attributed email attachments have contained material that runs directly opposite of Carlin's viewpoints — with some being especially volatile toward racial groups, gays, women, the homeless, etc.^ I’ll give you one that, even to people that don’t mind mild cursing, bothers some people—especially women.
  • George Carlin | Jay Dixit 31 January 2010 12:50 UTC jaydixit.com [Source type: Original source]

 .Carlin himself, when he was made aware of each of these bogus emails, would debunk them on his own website, writing to his readers that "Nothing you see on the Internet is mine unless it comes from one of my albums, books, HBO specials, or appeared on my website", and "it bothers me that some people might believe that I would be capable of writing some of this stuff."^ But he made album after album, tour after tour and then the HBO specials.

    • George Carlin: American Radical 9 January 2010 0:50 UTC www.thenation.com [Source type: General]

     Everyone says they suck.
But where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky; they don't pass through a membrane from a separate reality. They come from American homes, American families, American schools, American churches, and American businesses. And they're elected by American voters. This is what our system produces, folks. This is the best we can do. Let's face it, we have very little to work with. Garbage in, garbage out.
Ignorant citizens elect ignorant leaders, it's as simple as that. And term limits don't help. All you do is get a new bunch of ignorant leaders.
So maybe it's not the politicians who suck; maybe it's something else. Like the public. That would be a nice realistic campaign slogan for somebody: "The public sucks. Elect me." Put the blame where it belongs: on the people.
Because if everything is really the fault of politicians, where are all the bright, honest, intelligent Americans who are ready to step in and replace them? Where are these people hiding? The truth is, we don't have people like that. Everyone's at the mall, scratching his balls and buying sneakers with lights in them. And complaining about the politicians.
For myself, I have solved this political dilemma in a very direct way. On Election Day, I stay home. Two reasons: first of all, voting is meaningless; this country was bought and paid for a long time ago. That empty shit they shuffle around and repackage every four years doesn't mean a thing.
Second, I don't vote, because I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain. I know some people like to twist that around and say, "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain." But where's the logic in that? .Think it through: If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and you screw things up, then you're responsible for what they've done.^ They've got you by the balls.

I, on the other hand, who did not vote—who, in fact, did not even leave the house on Election Day—am in no way responsible for what these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created. Which I had nothing to do with. Why can't people see that?
Now, I realize last year you folks had another one of those really swell presidential elections you treasure so much. That was nice. I'm sure you had a good time, and I'm sure that everyone's life has now improved. But I'm happy to say that on Election Day I stayed home. And I did essentially what you did. The only difference is when I got finished masturbating I had something to show for it.

I like the power people can accrue for themselves, and I like the idea of user-generated content and taking power from the corporations.

George Carlin at a show in 2008

George Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008) was an American actor and comedian. Carlin was famous for making a list of curse words that people should not say in the media, or even in public. (The list was ironically adopted by many radio stations, as a guide to what kind of language was not allowed.)

As a stand-up performer, he had been called one of the greatest of his genre by the television network Comedy Central.

He had been seen in movies such as Jersey Girl, Dogma, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (and its sequel), Scary Movie 3, and Disney's Tarzan 2.

He died of heart failure at age 71. Carlin had a history of heart problems and had suffered several heart attacks.
