And as it happens, you can’t necessarily hear them at the Kennedy Center, either. … People who attended the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor ceremony this week, however, got a bleepin’ earful when a clip was shown of Carlin, the night’s posthumous honoree, doing the “Seven Words” routine. But in place of the those words — which Carlin famously described as the ones that will ‘infect your soul, curve your spine and lose the war for the Allies’ — came … bleeps. Lots and lots of bleeps — a veritable censorious symphony of them.”
