The author's long-time admiration of the late comedian, George Carlin, inspired her to write this series of essays based on his infamous monologue, “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television.” This routine was featured on his album of stand-up comedy, Class Clown, which was released in 1972. That same year, he was arrested for violating obscenity laws when he performed this routine at the Milwaukee Summerfest, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The words were sh*t, p*ss, f*ck, c*nt, c*cksucker, motherf*cker, and t*ts. These essays focus on each of these “forbidden” words. Most of the words remain taboo on American broadcast television.
Carlin was admired for his ballsy, anti-establishment, ‘tell-it-like-it-is,’ ‘I-don’t-give-a-damn-if-they-like-it’ persona. Many admired his truth and bravery which rattled a lot of cages and brought joy to legions of fans.
George Denis Patrick Carlin died on June 22, 2008, of heart failure at the age of 71. The world of comedy would never be the same.

My comment is not on the book as a whole, but on a specific topic touched by the author. The book’s humorous or satirical tone does not justify making incorrect statements about serious health matters. The author wrote “Real s***-s*** is formed mostly from water, dead bacteria, fiber and mucus in the large intestine which gives it a tubular, sausage-like shape. It gets its brownish color due to the breakdown of red blood cells.” There are two misleading statements in this text: 1) the bacteria in the stool are not dead, many of them they are pretty much alive, hence the danger of fecal contamination of food and water with E. coli and other bacteria. Fecal contamination is studied and measured by growing the fecal origin bacteria on Petri dishes with appropriate nutrients. 2) the brown color of the feces is not directly due to the breakdown of red blood cells in the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract. Blood, including red blood cells, should never be present anywhere in the (GI) tract. When there is blood, it is always a symptom of some sort of pathology, from simple mechanical or chemical injury to life-threatening ulcers and cancerous lesions. The blood in the stool could be very dark or “black” when the bleeding is from the upper GI tract, e.g. from the esophagus, or red, when the bleeding is from the colon or the rectum (e.g. colorectal cancer or hemorrhoids). The normal brown color of the stool is NOT a direct result of breakup of red blood cells in the GI tract, the stool color is generally influenced by what you eat as well as by the amount of bile — a yellow-green fluid that digests fats — in your stool. As bile pigments bilirubin (yellow color) and biliverdin (green clolor) travel through the GI tract, they are chemically altered by enzymes and converted into stercobilin and other pigments, which give the brown color to the stool. It is true that the bilirubin and biliverdin in the bile have their origin in the heme (the pigment in the red blood cells), but this does not happen in the stomach or the intestines (the GI tract), it happens in the liver. So, red blood cells (or blood) in the stool is a serious symptom, which should never be ignored.Product details

A Dirty Girl Essays on George Carlin "7 Words You Can't Say On Television" edition by Marla Buchanan Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A worthy tribute to Carlin. I would have liked the essays to be a bit longer. Not because they felt incomplete, but because I would like to hear more of what she has to say on the topics.
<i>I received a complimentary copy of this book via the Goodreads First Reads program.</i>
Like the man this essay is named after this brief excursion into the 7 Words You Can't Say On Television is lewd, crude, profane as well as extremely witty, laugh-out-loud funny and very well informed. George Carlin was a genius and Marla Buchanan's 'essay' pays him the proper respect for one of his more famous stand-up bits. Thanks for keeping his memory alive, Marla!
Marla Buckanan has taken the seven words you cannot say by George Carlin and updated them, sometimes with a femenine twist. Carlin was a comic genius and Buchanan has done a good job of reminding us of one of his funniest presentations. Thank you and a job well done.
