“I’m surprised that all this shit about role models has persisted as long as it has. Why should a kid need a role model? You know what you tell a kid? ‘Get the fuck out there, get a job, and make a contribution.’ Never mind that role model shit. If this country is dependent on things like role models, we’re much worse off than I thought.
People say athletes should be role models. I never looked up to an athlete, did you? I liked them. I didn’t copy them. Did you ever listen to one of those guys talk? Would you want your kid to turn out like that? Willing to completely subordinate his ego and individuality for the sake of a group whose sole purpose is to compete with other groups? Can’t have a mustache? Gotta wear a suit jacket? Shit! If your kid needs a role model and you ain’t it, you’re both fucked.” —George Carlin-Brain Droppings Pg. 56
