Remembering George Carlin in an iTunes sort of way

In the wake of George Carlin’s untimely death (ok, so the guy was 71, but the death of a genius can never be considered “timely”), iTunes has added a special page that includes a wealth of his legendary stand up routines.

If you’re daunted by the man’s prolific amount of available material, his “seven dirty words” routine is a good place to start, although I’d make sure the kiddies aren’t within listening distance for that one. In fact, I’d keep most of Carlin’s work away from the younger ones—there’s a reason Apple has included a red “explicit” box next to every single video of his.

And now, in remembrance of this departed legend, I shall recite, in a family friendly manner, the famed “7 words you can’t say on TV”:

1. S***
2. P****
3. F***
4. C***
5. C***S*****
6. M*****F*****
7. T***

RIP, to a man whose essence lives on in every comedian to come after him.
