End Of An Era of the Day: Following Gilbert Gottfried’s series of ill-conceived tweets poking fun at the devastation in Japan, Aflac informed the comedian, who has voiced the Aflac Duck for over a decade, that his services would no longer be required.

“Gilbert’s recent comments about the crisis in Japan were lacking in humor and certainly do not represent the thoughts and feelings of anyone at Aflac,” the company said in an official statement. “Aflac will immediately set plans in motion to conduct a nationwide casting call to find a new voice of the iconic Aflac Duck.”

Oh fuck, this is awesome!

In spite of our brief twitter bromance (he tweeted at me and boobun, true story) I immediately followed him when he started tweeting horrifically tactless and untimely Japan jokes.  It is immensely satisfying to know that such tasteless bullshit cost him a job!

SO I HEAR GILBERT GOTTFRIED LOST HIS JOB AT AFLAC FOR HIS NOT FUNNY JAPAN JOKES. HE SHOULD CHANGE HIS NAME TO GIBLERT GOTTFIRED.

I’LL BE HERE ALL DAY, TRY THE VEAL AND REMEMBER TO TIP YOUR WAITRESS.
