The Irritating Duck

Dave loves the Aflac duck.  He especially loves the current ad where the duck is break dancing.  I find the Aflac duck's voice extremely irritating. It sounds remarkably like abrasive comic Gilbert Gottfried.

Now we know it is Gilbert Gottfried's voice because Aflac fired him yesterday for telling offensive jokes about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. 

It seems to me that telling ANY jokes about the tragedy in Japan, at this point, is offensive.  The duck has apparently been an excellent representative for Aflac so ccongratulations to them for doing the right thing.
