Question - 61


Connect the visuals.

Answer: The connect is George Carlin, the legendary stand-up comedian. The pictures clockwise from the top left are (a) George Carlin getting arrested for his "Seven dirty words" routine, (b) the Mark Twain award that Carlin was given posthumously this year, (c) his arrest warrant on obscenity charges and (d) the character Fillmore from the movie Cars who was voiced by Carlin. Arvind, Rajeev, Mekhala, Iam, Keshav, Adi, Rajesh, Vateez and Swapnaa got it. Well done. If you haven't watched Carlin's routines, check them about in youtube. They are absolutely great.

That's George Carlin getting arrested in 1972 for his 'Seven Dirty words' routine and that document is probably his FIR or something.
The VW bus is Fillimore from the crap Pixar movie Cars, voiced by George Carlin.
And the bust = Justice Warren E Burger. The Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. He presided over the "Federal_Communications_Commission_v._Pacifica_Foundation"
case regarding the 'Seven words' thingy.

The late George Carlin getting arrested after performing the 'seven words you can never say on television' (or on stage)at the 1972 Milwaukee summerfest. He has been awarded the 2008 Mark Twain prize for American Humor(bust - Mark Twain). The hippy VW van is Fillmore from the movie 'Cars', which was voiced by Carlin.

think the pictures refer to the stand up comic george carlin. the first shows him being arrested- summerfest 1972 where he performed his famous 7 words you cannot say on tv. there is a picture of his arrest warrant. think the bust is of mark twain in whose honor an award is presented to great comics. carlin has been nominated for this year's award( posthumously). as for the van, i think its some kind of hippy, post sixties pile of junk depicting summerfest.

George Carlin (getting arrested, gave voice for the cars movie, his arrest report, can't really recognize the bust).
