It is worth noting that as PC language strictures have advanced, that standup comedy has deteriorated to vulgar crowd-approved jesting and shrill hate assignment delivered with a smug wink. Comedians have recently spoken of having to ask permission of the audience as to what subjects they may make fun of.

One thing that I have a problem with is the assignment of virtue due to advanced age, when aging tends to harden the defective strains in a character.

Carlin was a genius and he would not have made it in comedy if born 30 years later.
