It should be noted that Gilbert Gottfried is not the voice of the Aflac Duck in Japan. Duly noted.

I wish more would follow suit. Our culture is vulgar. Those who immerse themselves in popular entertainment become coarsened and simple decency becomes odd to them.

I was always far less likely to give them business because of that annoying duck. They should ditch the ad campaign along with that douche Gottfried.

90% of Japanese companies offer AFLAC to their employees and they insure 25% of Japanese families which accounts for 75% of the company’s business. He could have told a joke about anywhere else on earth and we would have been OK.

More evidence that Twitter is for Twits.
