George Carlin, 1937-2008
“wow george carlin wrote two bestsellers and not one mention on Galleycat of his passing,” complains a reader with a shaky grasp on capitalization and punctuation who felt so strongly about this matter that he chose to present his opinion behind the veil of anonymity—an act, one notes, completely antithetical to the moral philosophy Carlin espoused in his lifetime. (If Carlin didn’t actually write a routine in his later years about anonymous online guttersniping, it’s probably because he found it too pathetic even for his contempt…)
“What a slap in the face,” the email adds. (To whom, I wonder: Carlin, or his disgruntled fan?) Fortunately, another division of the mediabistro.com blog network was there to pick up the slack: Tina Dupuy of FishbowlLA gathered testimonials from comedians like Barry Crimmins, Flip Schultz and Dylan Brody yesterday. She even found the seven dirty words routine on YouTube.
