(From Yahoo News)LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs, dirty words and the demise of humanity, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday. He was 71.
[...] His comedic sensibility revolved around a central theme: humanity is a cursed, doomed species.
[...] Carlin told Playboy in 2005 that he looked forward to an afterlife where he could watch the decline of civilization on a "heavenly CNN."
Here's one of his few safe-for-work routines (but still one of my favorites), "Baseball and Football":
Rest in peace.
