george carlin, saul williams, is radio dead?

[BostonSportsE]

its funny im a huge fan of both these guys and they were both in the video

[MrHalcon004]

There Comes A Time In a Man's Life... TO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET VIEWERS SEE THE VIDEO.

[ealvarezz10]

ironic or not basketball commercial on this video

[Catcherintherye11111]

Carlin was God of the people he cleared alot of the bullshit from society he was a true human. I will never EVER meet anyone like him personally he had more of an impact on me than John Lennon or Mark Twain or any other great.I will miss him deeply im happy he existed in the history of the universe he is my friend who i never had a chance to meet.

[tgelbutis]

Compare Carlin and this stupid fuck?...Are you fucking serious. Please don't ever put them both together on a vid again.

[borneo215]

@tgelbutis ahahahahha i was gonna say the same carlin is the best hes the original

[ConsurgoTitanus]

huh. She is fucking hot.

[TheJade4]

Fuck these BEE ads! I have a phobia! SHIT PISS FUCK!

[cheapcape]

This corporate bitch knows nothing about what Carlin stood for.

[Shrunkenhead61]

Where do you even draw a line on "Selling out"? Carlin did a 1-800-collect commercial (according to his stand-up).

Isn't she selling out doing advertisements? I guess I don't get it.

[cheapcape]

@Shrunkenhead61 She is a fraud. In other videos this spoiled twat promotes Harry Potter, lmao!!

[lepexi]

im sorry to see such ignorant comments on here. when we should be respecting such a great poet/musicians decision to make a ton of money with a simple shoe commercial lol.

[sheilareynolds]

i love you saul. you are a hero to the modern youth.

[faen5863]

He needs money! Geeze guys, calm down.

[oneeighthundredtwosi]

You are so right. He made a choice that benefited him as a person and as an artist. He made money, he got lots of exposure; you guys are all crazy, nothing is wrong with making money and expanding your audience. Without his music in it, NIKE would be commiting the same atrocitys and injustices they are now. The fact that his music was in the commercial in no way relates to the bad stuff that NIKE is known for. If it wasn't that song, NIKE would have found another song to put in the commercial.

[honkywill]

Saul William's sold out on being antiwar by backing Obama.

[cheapcape]

@honkywill Most likely yes.

[cheapcape]

@honkywill These are just wolves in sheep's clothing, practically speaking.

[thefreeassociation]

"The question is not why did Saul Williams do a Nike commercial, It's why did Nike do a Saul Williams Commercial...." That's Bullshit. Obviously Nike put Williams' music in their commercial because they want a certain demographic to continue thinking that Nike is a cool brand and to keep buying Nikes. Saul Williams signed off on this and this obviously this does make him, if he is such a critic of consumerism, sort of a sell-out or hypocrite or something like that. But you need money to live...

[thefreeassociation]

(Cont.) Many of us who feel the same way Williams does about consumerism and who realize what Williams does about capitalism would do the same thing he did.....

[oneeighthundredtwosi]

I actually think Saul is smarter than all of you. He knew if he put his music in the commercial he would expand his audience to include those over-consumers who love NIKE. By gaining them as an audience he can expose them to his music and his powerful ideas in his lyrics; maybe, just maybe a few of them will take his words in stride and stop buying from all the BIG companies like NIKE that are ruining our environment and ruining people lives!!!!!!!

[idunnoification]

its better he sold out to a shoe company rather than a record company.

i mean, that was Saul's music in the commercial...not some record label president dinosaur in a suits' idea of him.

Personally music has never affected my shoe purchases.....but music has affected my music purchases.

[TheIllegit]

'More responsible about the shoes they make' - Kind of shoes they make? Were they making shoe bombs prior to using a Saul Williams song for their commercial?

[agathasharon]

his bullshit and he will pay 4 his bill

[joshsowords]

Oh and Nike did it to capitalize on some cultural currency. Thats why.

Just sell it.

[joshsowords]

IMO, Saul is simply playing word acrobatics to justify whatever he wants. It was a pretty half assed response to the criticism.

Its capitalism though, he has the right to sell his credibility to whomever he chooses just as I can choose to longer to consume his work. He's made it pretty clear that our relationship to each other and the world.

[Room84]

hey thank you so much for being sponsored by godaddy I used the code and all was good. thanks again

[Musc1esMarinara]

As far as your blatantly ignorant, American Neo-fascist thinking of every1 speaking one language is flawed. You say that "civilized" nations are brought into position because of the introduction of English. well if thats the case, lets take our grand spanking awesome country the USA. If by "introducing" English to this country u mean-Slaughtering its native inhabitants,stealing,mass genocide, and the crazy religious right. then by all means, indeed "civilized" are we...

[Musc1esMarinara]

There are no bad words, only what society and its inhabitants have deemed as words that might possibly in the correct context be offensive. Words when it comes down to the nitty gritty are indeed just words, it is the receiver of these words and their perception in which these words are deemed either good or bad, but not necessarily are bad words, just bad feelings are triggered by the words, which can be fair to say that some people have bad feelings, not bad words.

[kontredawg]

YES THERE ARE BAD WORDS because there are words that interperate negitive impressions and influences toward the free and discerning public. Just because someone should have the right to say them doesn't mean that have to hear them. "Well don't listen!" thats fine and dandy but when you're expecting something to be free of profanity, that's what you deserve, especially when some people get paid millions to watch the type of language they use

[weepaul666]

Heh, that's their problem for being so offended. How can you be offended by a word? It's the context it's used in. If a racist white guy called a black guy a "nigger". Fair enough. That's not on. But if you use the word in a different context, such as what I'm doing right now. I'm not being racist. I'm just using the word. It's not harmful. If I use the word nigger to describe racism. Noone should find it offensive. It's the racist asshole you aught to be aware of.

[kontredawg]

I believe when I typed this coment I was referring to the implication that there "are no bad words." Though I understand where you're coming from, what you fail to realize is that words evolved through expressions which interpreted thoughts with combination of writing techniques. Though "butt" and "ass" are both considered words with different meanings, the idea of saying "kiss my ass" as opposed to "kiss my butt" carries a more sharper and negaitive tone pending on the interpretation...

[kontredawg]

therefore, in definance it could change the statement and place a more negaitve impact on the listener. SHIT, ASS, FUCK, BITCH are words that give off bad impressions based on emotional use of them more than interpretion from them. Though they are not forbidden, they are considered bad.

[smujismuj]

b.s.

I doubt Nike has lost any sleep... or profit by "being more socially responsible."

[sexyjulie17]

ZZzzZZ

[aivilik]

This chick is an idiot.

[aivilik]

Never heard of this Saul Williams. Screw foreign languages. If we are all going to evolve into one people coexisting in one world, then we all need to speak one language, so that we can most easily be understood and minimize culturalism. English is the predominant global language, not to mention that it is the language of developed and civilized nations. No government can do to a people anything that the people do not allow. Fight for what you believe in, but don't bitch about it. CONstruction.

[erutemal]

english is the global language, but screw foreign languages?

must suck to be an american stereotype

[tubedeejay]

"If we are all going to evolve into one people coexisting in one world, then we all need to speak one language"

if we're all going to evolve into one people coexisting in the world, we're going to have to throw out a few old fallacies like we all have to be the "same." people already communicate globally, despite your hypothesis.

[stmk0]

weinker.

[daddub1]

I agree,and as a tribute to him, whom I grew up with,FUCK YOU TOO!!!!!!!!

[newbakes]

Spelled " O B A M A "

[tothemax01]

"is nigger just a word?"

lol, great shot.

[LizzyBane]

Yeah his chinese fight fish opinion to put at exxon a negitive, okay I'll let you take your tap babe.

[reznorfan15]

George Carlin is a legend and Saul Williams is equally brilliiant, nike commercial or not.

[7522IF]

George Carlin=genius, the rest of this video is a "news-y" yawn

[lunigal]

Thanks for the POST.

[Deatharte666]

Deatharte :

Shit...

[Zigzuggrunt]

There bad words its disturbing the peace you stupid lezbo

[xrubic]

is nigger just a word?

[gamlerik1]

I knew Saul Williams was fake the second I met him in Oslo.

[ReadingDave]

So, do we know what they do well enough to know if they are keeping to their promises and do we know enough to regard them fairly as they do?

[mlewis412]

I love how people only talk about the greats when they die.. leave it to the news to tell us..

[TheKingOfRuckus]

Didn't the host of this work at another website before? I really think I've seen her before.

[mikeymystik]

Someone should tell quinnamae she doesn't speak for Jesus himself... Georgie might be in Hell but NO ONE CAN KNOW THAT FOR CERTAIN. DUH!

[SlaughterMcKill]

Georgie was vastly overrated, as are all "entertainers" who, in saner times, were somewhere between street walker and prostitute on the social ladder.

[pakratmak]

Godd to see that loving, turn the other cheek spirit. You read your bible-I think you skipped a bit.

[timbearcub]

to gwinnamae:

To paraphrase the man 'he's screaming down in Hell at us'.

Not that I nor apparently he believe such codswallop.

[Redfingers]

He actually said "smiling up at us," which is the weird bit. I'd suppose you wouldn't be.

Anyway, nice homage and rebuke to the crazy fundie in one post, so much props.

[poopyfaceboobs]

tell someone that is verbally abused that words are just words.

words are more powerful than u think.

[gregchance324]

REBEL

[Applesketch]

i like the music in it

[dwightaintright65]

George Carlin didn't believe in capitolism let lone america. Yet, in capitolistic selfservitude you do 10seconds on G.C. then serve your self again a hot steaming dish of panderous pop promotion. Evidence of a "non-believer" of the G.C. message, I note. Using the death of G.C. as a front-end cull to your pop products is stricktly disengenious to his message since he first apeared on SNL. Capitol disgust from me I must point out.

[straker2]

Man, this girl talks so fast...why are pro net vids always presented like the presenter is on speed?

[ttuuiio]

JETSHOW SUCKS. All you geeks needs to get a LIFE.

[Mephistophilus]

I've never seen Epic Fu or jetshow for that matter.

The irony of your comment is so tragic I have to respond.

Anime videos and jetshow posts on your bulletin board....

You are too dumb to be a nerd, hypocritical dork.

They have "lives" or they would be dead.

I award you a giant FAIL sticker.

Flame away, you're blocked so I don't catch your stupidity.

[gentlewizard01]

Ok I am like way back into your chan. But keep it real. When the BS gets you. then tell them to fuck off your on the verge of something really speciel. I feel it, know it, and need to happen,

[fizmo909]

how is saul williams going to change nike with is 25 sec clip? did he take the money from that commercial and use it to improve worker conditions in nike factories? or donate it to humanitarian labour lobbyists?

[thiswaythat]

So we must keep corporations to high standards, while we lower our standard of language on TV??

Huh?

Teach kids to use bad language (and it is bad when the intent is there), but strike them down if they don't save a tree??

I do wonder: is it those that use such language also doing wrong in society, while those refraining from such behavior acting responsibly?

It is a social upbringing from the start of learning. If you learn to be crude, you will be in most aspects of life.

(._.)

[ASithTheyCalledEmo]

Believe me, the kids are all effing and jeffing regardless of whether it is on tv or not. I was swearing at a young age... long before I managed to stay up past the watershed. Nothing you can do to change it, and just cause you don't like certain words doesn't mean they shouldn't be used. You could use different language to reach the same intent but the impact is all gone. You gotta try and keep it simple for the simpletons to understand.

[thiswaythat]

It is a social decaying that has such language being use more frequently, and by a younger tongue. Such language was not widely used prior to the 60's. How can the impact be gone when a higher intelligence is used? So just because you are ignorant, i have to curse at you? How sad.

Why can't we insist on intelligence rather than ignorance? I don't see how anyone looking at history, can't judge society as better prior to the 60's.

[hooperxxx]

You're insane. The United States of America was an apartheid state prior to the 1960s.

[thiswaythat]

Firstly, my level of sanity has nothing to do with the topic. Second, this country still discriminates as that is human nature. There is still segregation of wealth, status, and education. More so now then in prior to the 60's.

NON of that has anything to do with the fact that poor language use as a way to communicate ones thoughts, is just the dumbing down of America. Lowering the standard to which we speak, or act, is not a path to higher education, nor excellence.

[hooperxxx]

"There is still segregation of wealth, status, and education. More so now then in prior to the 60's."

This is an absurd statement. Either you haven't a clue what you're talking about, or you're clinically insane. When my parents were young, the United States was a full-on apartheid state. For example, black people could neither work nor shop at department stores in downtown Detroit. Additionally, the day my old man returned from WWII, he was denied service in a hamburger joint in NYC.

[thiswaythat]

Again, i am not sure what my sanity has to do with this thread, but so be it.

So a black man can eat, but a Christian can't pray. But now we hate Mexicans instead of Blacks.

Segregation is still ramped; it has just moved on to a different sect of people.

Class warfare is a business and rooted in politics. Smokers against non-sokers, traditionalism against modernism. Although is some form this has been going on forever.

This of course has NOTHING to do with the improper use of language.

[hooperxxx]

Your sanity is in question because you continue to make crazy statements, such as "So a black man can eat, but a Christian can't pray." That is absurd. You can pray to your heart's content. You just can't force me to pray to your f*cking god! You can neither spell (e.g. Segregation is still ramped--that's rampant, dumb-ass) nor compose a coherent sentence. In short, you're a complete and utter ass-clown.

[thiswaythat]

LOL and *MY* sanity is in question? LOL

You seem to be a wee bit off your axis. The context of prayer was not of YOUR limitations, but mine. Schools etc.

Again, you have not kept to the topic except for yourself to resort to language unbecoming. So let us just part ways

P.S. LOL sorry about this misspell. As that does make me stupid right LOLOL

PLINK

[cclmnop]

I think it' the word "segregation" pertaining to wealth that is confusing. There is NOT more segregation than in the 60's, and yes you would have to be crazy to believe otherwise! I think you're trying to say "SEPARATION of wealth" instead of "segregation of wealth" which could mean the same thing linguistically but traditionally means something entirely different. The separation of wealth is far more now than then. I would not only agree but could easily prove, but need 500 more characters.

[thiswaythat]

Segregation: the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things or being set apart :

Separation: the action or state of moving or being moved apart.

By dictionary standards, segregation is more true as it applies to people and the act being carried out by people to people. Separation could imply involuntary whereby segregation is the act of the wealthy to to move apart from them, the poor.

My point was to overstate the willful act.

[cclmnop]

Yes- Linguistically, also can be called called "dictionary terms"

Again you WOULD have to be crazy to say that there is more segregation now than in the 60's. There is a "willful act" of separation of power, and elites to defend power from us, sure. If this is your point then my advise would be to say this instead of trying to make the claim that there is more segregation today than in the 60's. That's is crazy.

[Jerangel9]

boo advertisements, congrats on makin money

[sexdrugsRnR]

no such thing as collective responsiblity

[KrazyRawb]

The radio will never dieeeee. It'll just get better.. I hope.

[whatdumd]

was that Sarah Lane @ 5:30?

[SPIKEL31A]

Zadi..your taking money from "Go Daddy" now..right..? So others take from others it's all the same..!

[abixalmon]

everyone knows about godaddy and where to find cheaper coupons than what you are offering! do something better! REALLY!!

[momilitia]

Godaddy put the screws to me a couple weeks ago after they were told to release my account and then somehow nailed my cc, a cc that had been canceled!

[misaje]

Epic Fu, awesomeness, as the hostess is as well.

[bornbillsmith]

I never liked Carlin.

I thought he was pretentious and derivative.

There were comics before him who I think were more thought provoking (Mort Saul) and if using four letter words made you great then Don Rickles deserves a noble prize.

[Dormant81]

Get rid of the last minute of Revision 3 advertising - it is very anonying. I only watch the show for Zadi.

[freaks182]

lol go daddy thing is getting really annoying

[laurence9119]

epic fu has obviously benefited from the rebrand and re launch, thanks zadi!

[Nic33rd]

Thumbs Up, Epic Fu!

[PRandBXkid16]

"Sum People Need Practical Advise"- George Carlin you were and will always be a fucking comic genius

[NikeSlice]

I think the only thing Revision 3 has brought to Epic-Fu is advertisements of their shows and what they do. I dont really know if it is beneficial to Epic-Fu. Anyone else agree?

[FacelessFault]

Its not great but it doesn't bog things down too much. and at least the great people who make epic-fu are getting an income from it!

[NikeSlice]

True!

[mannyfresherthanyou]

yeah, thumbs up!

[falt007]

I grew up with George Carlin and I am so glad that the younger generation acknowledges his contribution. Also the shows keep getting better.

[nocamasi]

i loveu 8D u great.

[eternalhoops]

did she say porn

[pawletoe]

no korn

[XwhitmanX]

no she said pawn

[rjstacey64]

Thanks for the heads up about lang-8. It will help me alot.

[Drillsback]

George Carlin = Classic comedian

RIP

[JXintheZ]

Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, Tits.

Epic!

[illdoc1]

if KRS One can do a Nike ad that's a remake of Gil Scott Heron "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", Saul's gotta be able to go for his too

[farhmoha]

damn soo close being first

[BicolBandit]

lol. Wait, Paul Dateh isn't really black!?

[grenadianmed]

I don't listen to radio because I don't own a car anymore. Thats really the only time I would ever listen to it.

And I don't know if Saul Williams is a sell-out, but if he took money from Nike, he would definitely be a hypocrite.

[RockInBlack]

Woo! I love epic fu

[SoulSurviverrr]

wooooo 5th

[kalli199]

ah zadi is so HOT! DAMN!

[ServetSasquatch]

omg only 8 views NOT FAIR!
