(Den of Geek) - "It's Bad For Ya" (Amazon.com:
http://xrl.us/BadForYa ) is a DVD of George Carlin's 14th,
and last, special for HBO, which aired on 1st March 2008
and featured material that was honed during a tour of the
US that preceded this special. A recording of the set won
him a Grammy for Best Comedy Album, although the album
recording was on a different date to that of the DVD.

Carlin sets out to shock early, with attacks on Lance
Armstrong and Tiger Woods in the opening minute. If you're
expecting to be in for something controversial, though,
you'll be disappointed. The overall theme of the set is
very bleak with the majority of the set occupied with
Carlin talking about death in some capacity, which is
appropriate given that he passed away three months after
this was filmed..
