I can't get over the irony. If you do a search on "seven dirty words" on Google and choose video results, you'll find a 10-minute clip of George Carlin's famous routine. And if you have a device like an AppleTV, you can stick those seven dirty words right on your television set. Yes, I know you could have probably watched the same routine on premium cable, but this way is more true to Mr. Carlin's rebel ethic: you don't have to sit around waiting for some programmer in a suit to schedule it. Load it up, watch it ten or fifteen times, and say an appropriately raunchy blessing for Mr. Carlin ... who maintained a blog and a kick-ass website, BTW.
I'm sure he would have had a few choice words to say about this, if we'd had a chance to ask him.
