R.I.P., George Carlin


Rest in peace, George Carlin.
O humorist,
O genius,
O breaker of new ground, you
were more than just a comedian,
more than just a funny man.
You were an artist of the highest order.
“Shit-piss-fuck-cunt-cocksucker-motherfucker-tits.”
That was your famous line.
And for this the cops arrested you.
Bastards!
Jon Ive says he never
found you funny.
A bit unkind of him, I think.
But then again, he’s British.
And they have a weird sense of humor.
Fawlty Towers? Monty Python?
I’m sorry but I just don’t get it.
Anyway.
Sleep easy, George Carlin.
If we ever do another “Think Different”
ad campaign, I promise
you will be in it.
But not your dirty words.
Sorry.
