Aflac fired Gilbert Gottfried(the voiceover for the Aflac duck)for making fun of the recent Japanese tragedy on his Twitter page. He posts ten rude jokes, a few examples are "I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, 'There'll be another one floating by any minute now.'"
"Japan called me. They said 'maybe those jokes are a hit in the US, but over here, they're all sinking.'""What do the Japanese have in common with @howardstern? They're both radio active."
"Japan is really advanced. They don't go to the beach. The beach comes to them." 75% of Aflacs customers are in Japan so it is no shocker the end result would be his release from the company. I find this so important because it proves my point that not even older adults can handle the responsibilities & maturity that come along with social sites that publish one's thoughts. The article I found information was http://www.businessinsider.com/gilbert-goffried-fired-afl-2011-3.
