A George Carlin “Minithon”

Please note that none of the above lists are exhaustive, the authors and movies in particular. In all honesty, if a person or a group, through whatever media they choose, causes me to think – especially when good humor is used to do so, chances are I would include it on my list of favorite things. And at the top of that list would be everybody who has ever dared to use great comedy to pry open the eyes of the intentionally blind.

In his honor, I’ve put together this playlist containing seven eight short, yet still great, video examples showing why:

Update: Note that I’ve added one more video to the front of the list. Thanks Rachael! 😀
