Title: just not that funny
Review: I bought this book because I used to think george carlin was pretty funny. Unfortunately, this book is mostly just angry and bitter and not really very funny, at all. Mr. Carlin repeatedly uses very harsh language for its shock value and it detracts from what he tries to say. He has some good points about euphemisms, about religion, about women's place in the world, but his presentation lacks finesse and is as subtle as a brick to the head and about as funny. Lest there be question -- I laugh at South Park, enjoy Michael Moore, and miss the days when it took more than repeated use of the word penis to be considered witty.
