this is sadly very true

Comedian George Carlin dies at 71 - Celebrities - MSNBC.com (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25322638/)

Lets all remember and respect this great, great comedian. This is really a huge loss and the world will be much less humorous without him here.

Always a champion for free speech and personal rights, rest in peace.

:(. This really bums me out. George Carlin was the best comedian ever in my opinion. I have laughed so much listening to him. And just last week it was announced he would be the recipient of the 2008 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
DAMN!!

I'll miss him. He was very funny, and he had a way of exposing a lot of absurd bullshit that goes on in our world. He kept you entertained, but he also made you think. He put his own ass on the line for free speech. He also had a really good understanding of language.

Thanks for everything, George!

I'm changing my status to "Sad" for the rest of the day, for a day of mourning in his honor. The world needed your humor now more than ever George, you will be greatly missed. :(

I couldn't believe it when I first heard.
This really sucks, I never got to see him live, which is something I always wanted to do.
