Counterculture comedian George Carlin, who pushed the boundaries of free speech and decency in his routines, died yesterday of heart failure at the age of 71, the L.A. Times reports. Carlin's "Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV" comedy routine sparked the FCC v Pacifica case in which the Supreme Court upheld the FCC's sanction against the Pacifica Foundation radio station for indecency on broadcast.
