Duck, Gilbert!

You know, I don't normally go in for celebrity gossip, but sometimes you just have to pass one along.

Seems that Gilbert Gottfried got fired from a job where all he had to do was say the company name. One word. That was it. Not a difficult gig by any stretch.

Over the weekend, he might just have ridden the Twitter pony into well-deserved obscurity. He puked up an even dozen "Japanese = drowning" jokes, like:

Aside from the whole "taste" issue (never his strong suit anyway), Gilbert failed to take into account the fact that Aflac does 75% of its business in Japan.

Wow. The third most annoying man in the world is also one of the stupidest. I wonder why I don't feel much sympathy?

Don't worry, Gil. There'll be another job floating by...

Any...

minute...
