Product Description
When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?
Book Description
On the heels of George Carlin's #1 New York Times bestseller Napalm & Silly Putty comes When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? -- infused with Carlin's trademark irreverent humor and biting cultural observations.

Here we go again . . . George Carlin's hilarious When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? offers his cutting-edge opinions and observational humor on everything from evasive euphemistic language to politicians to the media to dead people. Nothing and no one is safe!

Despite the current climate of political correctness, Carlin is not afraid to take on controversial topics:

--Carlin on the media: The media comprises equal parts business, politics, advertising, public relations, and show business. Nice combination. Enough bull for Texas to open a chain of branch offices.
--Carlin on the battle of the sexes: Here's all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.
--Carlin on hygiene: When did they pass a law that says the people who make my sandwich have to be wearing gloves? I'm not comfortable with this. I don't want glove residue all over my food; it's not sanitary. Who knows where these gloves have been?
--Carlin on evasive language: Just to demonstrate how far using euphemisms in language has gone, some psychologists are now actually referring to ugly people as those with "severe appearance deficits." Hey, Doctor. How's that for "denial"?
--Carlin on politics: No self-respecting politician would ever admit to working in the government. They prefer to think of themselves "serving the nation." To help visualize the service they provide the country, you may wish to picture the things that take place on a stud farm.

The thinking person's comic who uses words as weapons, Carlin puts voice to issues that capture the modern imagination. For instance, why are there Ten Commandments? Are UFOs real? What will the future really be like? This brand-new collection tackles all that and more.

In When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? Carlin's razor-sharp observations demolish everyday values and leave you laughing out loud -- delivering exactly what his countless fans have been waiting for.

3 of 5 stars  Golden words in soiled paper

Geroge Carlin is an extremely gifted writer and observer of the daily situation in our country. He would be right up there with Mark Twain and others, if he could just avoid the generally considered filthy language.
Reading his book is similar to eating a gourmet meal sitting next to an overflowing lavatory.
George, please save your risky language for your comedy acts and bring us books of wisdom that we can all enjoy.

1 of 5 stars  He isn't funny
Tuesday, April 12, 2005
George Carlin is the guy who brought you four-letter words to
Television, and aren't we a better society for it! Wow. I am not
sure why I thought maybe this book would be different, but it isn't.
During the first few chapters, I just kept thinking, this
old guy really needs to grow up one of these days. His mentality
is stuck back in junior high, which is really pathetic. And I am
still waiting for that first laugh in this book. It just isn't
funny. Why do people keep calling him a comedian? I repeat, he
isn't funny.

3 of 5 stars  Probably better on audio cassette or cd....
Wednesday, March 30, 2005
This book was not that great although certain parts of it were very funny. If you like euphemisms then Carlin has some excellent observations that will make you laugh out loud. Some of the book was very strange and not funny at all - in particular the parts where he talks about certain uncles and the traits they have. It's like Carlin had a random musing that he found funny and decided to use it as filler space. I did not care for his commentary on domestic violence - something that is never funny no matter how you look at it. I wasn't a big fan of Carlin's America bashing either mainly because he makes his living primarily here in the States. If it's so awful he should go elsewhere and reject the profits of us idiots. As far as the religious commentary is concerned, it wasn't that bad really. I could see how individuals who are very devout would be offended, but then again the title and the book cover should clue those folks in that maybe the book isn't for them. Overall, the book isn't worth buying although I'd be interested in hearing the audio version if there is one.

5 of 5 stars  how long does it take you to go to the bathroom
Thursday, March 24, 2005
darth wedgie wrote and i quote

"I read this waste of trees in a friend's bathroom (there was nothing else to read but shampoo bottles). Not a single laugh from beginning to end."

so let me get this straight, you read an entire book....in one bathroom sitting?

they're called prunes, give 'em a try.

or maybe next time you're going for broke, shoot me out a diamond, tight cheeks.
