Default Aflac Duck Voice Guy Fired

Saw this article on CNN:
Comedian Gilbert Gottfried fired as voice of Aflac duck - CNN.com

My initial thoughts. Good for Aflac for holding people accountable. The guy represents the company and what he said damaged its reputation. Aflac was right to fire him immediately to send a message to everyone that things like that will not be tolerated.

What do you think?

I think it's deserved. Of course "jokes" will be made, they always are, think of 9/11.

I just think it's stupid for top end professionals that are linked with a company name to be doing such things, definitely this early after the disaster.
