George Carlin had always thought religion was bullshit. Now, he has a chance to explain his views to the big guy up there, as his heart failed him at the age of 71. And I bet that as we speak, he's grinning mischievously and lighting a cig after he'd sent everyone over there to hell.
Here's a short selection of George Carlin's best YouTube flicks. If you're a fan, I know you'll enjoy them; if you're one of the uninitiated, well, better late than never.
5. Voting - why do we always feel like there's a lack of real choice on the ballot? George explains the habits of an average voter, where politicians come from and why the country is screwed.
4. Ten Commandments You know those stupid top 10 lists, that always seem like they were inflated up to a round number (any similarity to any persons or blogs living or dead is a coincidence)? Well, it goes all the way back to Moses.
3. Airline Announcements Ever wondered why all announcements on an airplane sound like they're spoken in some weird language from a parallel universe?
2. Saving The Planet - Saving endangered species is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control nature. It's what got us in trouble in the first place.
1. Religion Is Bullshit If he was wrong about this one, it might get George into a lot of trouble right about now.
