Stock Research According to George Carlin

Posted by: Rachel Hulin    Date: June 24, 2008  |  21 Comments

Like the rest of the country, we were saddened to hear about the news of George Carlin’s passing, and felt that we should honor him in some way. We thought and thought, and then came upon an idea; why not research stock repositories for Carlin’s “seven words you can never say on television”? Researchers, you know you like to type outrageous words into the search field when you’re bored. This time we do it for you. To fairly represent the breadth of the industry, we searched both PhotoShelter and Getty.

The only rule: I had to choose an image from the first page of results. If you don’t trust my findings, search for yourself! Some results make sense, some clearly do not. Number 5 is just amazing.

Ok! Here we go:

George was an atheist and had a routine about believing in the sun, so instead of God Bless, you should say Sun Bless, George.

He also had a bit about worshiping Joe Pesci, so uhh… Joe Pesci, bless him!

Andrew 6-25-2008

Lee Ruff 6-25-2008

Oh, hahah. I used the “c” word as a keyword?! Ha, that is embarrassing. I never would use that language. Quite a privelige to have the only image with that as a key…. ??? ha. Cocksucker is hilarious. :)
