This is hilarious; everyone saying Carlin would hate this is essentially putting words in his mouth just like Dudesy did, but Dudesy put a lot more effort in.
No, they're just extrapolating what someone's feeling on something might be. That's pretty different than creating an entire comedy special using the voice of a dead guy.
But what does the dead guy have to say about it?
Nothing, he's dead.
Nobody knows, but he'd probably hate it. I certainly wouldn't want to put any words in his mouth, then use a computer program to imitate his voice so it seemed as if he were saying those words.
I feel like as an anti capitalist (on the outside) nihilist anarchist insane fuck the world comedian, who is dead, he can't care. If his daughter can't sue then this is a circle jerk. When I die what my arrangements take care of is as much as I can control, after that who gives a fuck. I personally think he'd laugh his ass off.
Excellent point.
