George Carlin was an absolute legend. May he forever R.I.P
MJ was an undisputed paedophile. May he forever B.I.H (Burn In Hell)

Peter Falk isn't dead, even though people may think he is. He's a lot like Abe Vidoga or Gene Wilder in that respect. Out of all the recent celebrity deaths I'd say David Carradine was the saddest, most hilarious, and most memorable of all of them. Billy Mays was just a man who hocked cheap wares and yelled while doing it. He was a sales man. Where are all the people saying how awesome Oscar Meyers was? RIP hog-anus man.SlainPwner666 said:
Carlin could have been a leader of sorts in another world, but he chose to enlighten us on how much we suck as a animal, race, group and person, and i think him for that. He didn't bullshit you, he didn't baby you, i told you the truth.
Carlin was a big inspiration to me, as he influenced how i thought about things, to how i handle my language when speaking, to how to speak to people who i wish to be handcuffed to a helicopter blade while in full flight.
MJ was great, but Carlin molded me to the proud, lonely, utterly pissed off man i am.

The thing with Billy Mays is that he had something very few TV salesmen had...integrity. Sure, he did infomercials, but he never lied about what his products were capable of, or misled you in what they did or were, unlike a certain Shamwow salesman (Sham is right...). He had a persona he cultivated to stand out, but more than that, he was a truly honest salesman.Vern said:
But an honest salesman is still a salesman. If I had a guy selling me dog crap saying it would shine my car, and another guy selling me the same crap saying it's just dog crap, I wouldn't buy from either of them. I would much rather have an honest salesman than a dishonest salesman, but I can't say that Oxyclean or Magic Putty ever changed my life, so I can't see why he would be held in this high esteem. But the same goes for Jackson and Fawcett as well.thebobmaster said:

*Waits for people to ask who HE is*
OT: I pick Billy Mays, cuz i've never heard of george carlin until The Daily Show did something about him, and i never understood why we stopped treating Wacko Jacko as the human punching bag he was.
off topic: Dave Chapelle's career. Come back Dave, we miss you.

Of the two options presented I have to go with George Carlin purely for his role of Rufus (my respects to the man, he was great indeed).
Micheal Jackson, on the other hand, had some good songs but there were many things about him that lessened my disposition towards him:
1- The accusations of child molestation- These speak for themselves to be honest, you know what your opinion on the matter is so I won't go into it
2- The severe amount of surgery he had- He looked like something directly from the heart of the uncanny valley
3- The forced 'respect' that is demanded by some- My sister in particular has made a habbit of playing his music almost constantly and becomes very agitated and defensive as soon as anyone speaks negetively of him
There are others but I'm tired and can't think of them off the top of my head.
In any case I personally am saddened most by the passing of Bill Hicks (not recent but my point still stands).

George Carlin, he was a brilliant comedian and stayed brilliant till the end. Michael Jackson went bannas and I think he should have been locked up in a mental institution his last years. He was a great musician but he snapped and became a joke in the end.
GEORGE CARLIN DIED?! WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THIS?!
Damm Michael Jackson dying blocks out ALL the other news, and don't get me wrong, Jackson was incredible, but Carlin is the man who brought independent thought to Americans, and helped me in my quest to understand and challenge our perceptions of reality.
So yeah, they'll both be missed, and many more people as well, but George Carlin is the clear leader... The current score is pathetic, its like 130/50 in Carlin's favor. Besides, how and when did Carlin die? Some1 PM me on this...
