Jewish comedian has been fired for making jokes about the earthquake and tsunami that has devastated Japan

The Aflac duck lost its voice after the insurance giant fired the Jewish comedian behind the commercial quack for tweeting jokes about the earthquake and tsunami that has devastated Japan. The company fired Gilbert Gottfried less than an hour after discovering the tweets, according to a news release from Aflac. So far, the earthquake and tsunami have left more than 2,400 people dead, and thousands more in shelters or missing. Most of the tweets by Gottfried make light of the natural disaster in either a flippant or sexual manner.
