and Humanity Is Doomed<\/em><\/h3>\nAccording to the all-knowing web, the iconoclastic comedian and social commentator of Irish-American wit and way-with-wordage George Carlin has taken his final bow today at 6PM in Santa Monica. His comedy bit \u201cSeven Words You Can Never Say On Television\u201d helped shape the way Americans look at censorship and the power of the FCC. ~RR<\/p>\n
From http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/25322638\/ :<\/i>
\nIn the 1978 case, Federal Communications Commission vs. Pacifica Foundation, the top U.S. court ruled that the words cited in Carlin\u2019s routine were indecent, and that the government\u2019s broadcast regulator could ban them from being aired at times when children might be listening.<\/p>\n
Carlin\u2019s comedic sensibility often came back to a central theme: humanity is doomed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have any beliefs or allegiances. I don\u2019t believe in this country, I don\u2019t believe in religion, or a god, and I don\u2019t believe in all these man-made institutional ideas,\u201d he told Reuters in a 2001 interview.<\/p>\n
