Actor and comedian Gilbert Gottfried was fired by Aflac after tweeting jokes about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
One would think that when a company has a cash cow, that they take the bitter with the sweet. Charlie Sheen disregard for the networks executives allowed the multi-million dollar man to be fired. Now Gilbert Gottfried was fired when the The Columbus, Georgia-based company discovered that he had tweeted, jokes about the earthquake and tsunami that has devastated Japan.
I am sure that Aflac realize that he was a comedian first, although lets face it, you have to know where to draw a line in the sand. I am sure that humor can be seen in the eyes of anyone, but damn Gilbert you could have waited a week! You embodied the voice of the duck and we will miss "AFLAC".
I hope that this will be a example to all entertainers, that no one is exempt from the ax being dropped. Their words are engraved in my mind as I think about both of them, "THAT THEY DID NOT THINK THIS COULD HAPPEN TO THEM!"
Meanwhile back at the ranch, their chapter ended with those companys.
