strana 2

George Denis Patrick Carlin byl americký stand-up komik, kritik sociálních poměrů, satirik, herec, spisovatel a autor, který získal pět Cen Grammy za svá komediální alba.Byl proslulý svým černým humorem, stejně jako názory na politiku, anglický jazyk, psychologii, náboženství a různá další tabu témata. On sám se svou komediální scénkou nazvanou Seven dirty words se v roce 1978 stal jádrem soudního případu F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, projednávaném u Nejvyššího soudu Spojených států amerických, ve kterém byla rozhodnutím 5 soudců proti 4 potvrzena pravomoc vlády k regulaci neslušného obsahu ve veřejných rozhlasových stanicích.

První z jeho čtrnácti stand-up speciálů pro televizní stanici HBO byl natočen roku 1977. Od konce 80. let se jeho výstupy zaměřovaly na sociálně-kulturní kritiku moderní americké společnosti. Často komentoval současné politické dění ve Spojených státech a satirizoval excesy americké kultury. Jeho poslední speciál pro HBO, It's Bad for Ya , byl natočen méně než čtyři měsíce před jeho smrtí.

V roce 2004 se umístil na 2. příčce žebříčku americké televizní stanice Comedy Central 100 největších stand-up komiků všech dob, a to před Lenny Brucem a za Richardem Pryorem. Během třicetileté éry Johnnyho Carsona často vystupoval a jako host i uváděl The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Uváděl také první díl Saturday Night Live. V roce 2008 mu byla posmrtně udělena cena Marka Twaina za americký humor. Wikipedia

George Dennis Carlin: Citáty anglicky

“No. No, there's no God, but there might be some sort of an organizing intelligence, and I think to understand it is way beyond our ability”

The Onion A.V. Club, September 6, 2000 http://avclub.theonion.com/avclub3631/avfeature_3631.html
Interviews, Print Interviews
Kontext: [On the existence of God] No. No, there's no God, but there might be some sort of an organizing intelligence, and I think to understand it is way beyond our ability. It's certainly not a judgmental entity. It's certainly not paternalistic and all these qualities that have been attributed to God. It's probably a dispassionate... That's why I say, "Suppose He doesn't give a shit? Suppose there is a God but He just doesn't give a shit?" That's the kind of thing that might be at work.

“There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.”

“Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fires, what do freedom fighters fight?”

Doin' It Again, Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics (1990)
Kontext: Smug, greedy, well-fed white people have invented a language to conceal their sins. It's as simple as that. The CIA doesn't kill anybody anymore, they neutralize people, or they depopulate the area. The government doesn't lie, it engages in disinformation. The Pentagon actually measures nuclear radiation in something they call sunshine units. Israeli murderers are called commandos, Arab commandos are called terrorists. Contra killers are called freedom fighters. Well, if crime fighters fight crime, and firefighters fight fires, what do freedom fighters fight?

“Religion is just mind control.”

Doin' It Again, Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics (1990)
Kontext: Same with religion. Religion is nothing but mind control. Religion is just trying to control your mind, control your thoughts, so they're gonna tell you some things you shouldn't say because they're... sins. And besides telling you things you shouldn't say, religion is gonna suggest some things that you ought to be saying; "Here's something you ought to say first thing when you wake up in the morning; here's something you ought to say just before you go to sleep at night; here's something we always say on the third Wednesday in April after the first full moon in spring at 4 o'clock when the bells ring." Religion is always suggesting things you ought to be saying.

“Bullshit is truly the American soundtrack.”

"American Bullshit"
You Are All Diseased (1999)
Kontext: Living in this country, you're bound to know, every time you're exposed to advertising, you realize once again that America's leading industry, America's most profitable business is still: the manufacture, packaging, distribution and marketing of bullshit. High-quality, grade-A, prime-cut, pure, American bullshit. And the sad part is, is that most people seem to have been indoctrinated to believe that bullshit only comes from certain places, certain sources: advertising, politics, salesmen – not true. Bullshit is everywhere. Bullshit is rampant. Parents are full of shit, teachers are full of shit, clergymen are full of shit, and law enforcement people are full... of... shit – this entire country. This entire country is completely full of shit, and always has been. From the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution to the Star-Spangled Banner, it's still nothing more than one big steaming pile of red, white and blue, all-American bullshit. Because, think of how we started. Think of that. This country was founded by a group of slave-owners who told us all men are created equal. Oh yeah, all men, except for Indians and niggers and women, right? I always like to use that authentic American language. This was a small group of unelected, white, male, land-holding, slave-owners who also suggested their class be the only one allowed to vote. Now, that is what's known as being stunningly and embarrassingly full of shit. And I think Americans really show their ignorance when they say they want their politicians to be honest. What are these fuckin' cretins talking about? If honesty were suddenly introduced into American life, the whole system would collapse! No one would know what to do! Honesty would FUCK THIS COUNTRY UP!!

“I'm happy to tell you there is very little in this world that I believe in.”
