World's Most Potty-Mouthed Grandpa Dies: RIP George Carlin

HerBadMother — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:40:00 GMT

The world has lost one of it's funniest and most filthy-mouthed rabble-rousers. George Carlin - who, in addition to revolutionizing cursing, lent his voice to numerous children's shows - died of heart failure yesterday.

Carlin's routine on the "Seven Words You Can't Say On Television" led to a 1978 Supreme Court ruling upholding the government's authority to sanction stations for broadcasting offensive language during hours when children might be listening. Carlin also - and the perverse irony of this has always delighted me - lent his voice to such children's programs as Thomas the Tank Engine and the movie Cars.

The world is a lesser place without him. Rest In F*cking Peace, George. RIFP.

Pierce Brosnan, 007 in "Die Another Day" among other James Bond films, will be the voice of Thomas the Tank Engine in an upcoming DVD. Brosnan follows in the footsteps of Ringo Starr and George Carlin, who both have lent their voices to the series. Hey, I see whole new career possibilities for some Hollywood stars, voicing the parts of trainwrecks.

Brosnan, who recently berated the media for comments they made about his wife's weight, says he's looking forward to being a part of the beloved children's series. "One of my fondest memories as a father was sharing the stories of Thomas The Tank Engine and watching the series with my children when they were young."
