CNBC "breaking" news - AFLAC fires Gilbert Gottfried as voice for the duck over his Japan related twitter posts that AFLAC considered to be in bad taste; will have casting call for a new duck voice.

ah...all is clear now
So Gottfried Gottfired.
“So Gottfried Gottfired.”
It can be said that Gottfried got fried, too. In fact, he kicked himself into the fryer.
Honestly folks here seem to be behaving like the lefties by getting offended at the smallest or slightest off color remark. Have the skins of Freepers become so thin that you whine like democrats at the slightest percevied micro offense.
So in the end, were the jokes;
Funny-NO
Tasteless-YES
Damaging-NO
Offensive-Guess it depends on your point of view.
>>>Offensive-Guess it depends on your point of view.
Apparently not offensive in your world... to each their own.
I applaud AFLAC for taking a stand on what offends them. It’s their right. Something that is too infrequent in this day and age.
I thought that was ‘beaking’ news, not ‘breaking’ news.
Who will pay him now that he can’t work?
I thought they were kinda funny.
Too early, but kinda funny.
