Aflac, has fired the veteran comedian, for his Tweets, that according to Aflac's Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Michael Zuna, that his comments were indeed rash and uncalled for, and do not express the views of the company. Thus, he has fired from being the voice of the Aflac Duck, that many of us have seen for a decade in commercials and Youtube reruns. Gilbert, has been known to be an annoying rat faced, squinty eyed, and flamboyant comedian, but nothing can be further from the truth. All of his shenanigans, are just his part of being humorous, and in many cases, he is. Perhaps, in this case, his comments reached so many people with formal complaints in Gottfried's part. He may not have been wise to poke fun of Japan's current dilemmas, but has already issued a formal apology to the masses.
Aflac, is currently looking for a voice actor to replace Gottfried's as we speak.
