Should he be fired? If the company he works for didn't like what he said then yes. If your a celebrity your getting paid for who you are or can play. Cross the line and you might pay for it.

Yes he is a comedian but the disaster isn't even over yet. He fucked up. Screw him. He is the voice for a duck with a one word gig. I'm sure there will be more then a thousand people looking for work that would sign up for that casting call. Give one of them the work.

Does no one else remember that this was the same guy making jokes about 9/11, not soon after, immediately before he got the Aflack gig?

*EDIT* There are some F-bombs dropped in this vid.

As a spokesperson, he crossed a line. As a comedian, I see no problem with the jokes.

Some people remember.

As I said before, he made jokes about what is happening in Japan while employed by a company that generated 3/4 of their sales last year in Japan. Of course he is free to make whatever jokes he wants, but his employer is just as free to get rid of him for doing so.

That's my point. He's always been this way. They knew that when they hired him. He should have never been hired in the first place.

I asked girl in Japan to sleep with me.
She said OK, but I would have to sleep in the wet spot.

This.

And, maybe if the jokes were actually funny he wouldn't have been fired...

So in order to save face Aflac guaranteed that everyone knew the Spokesperson they had been paying large sums of money to represent their product for years is an insensitive asshole by making a big news story out of firing him? Great job Aflac!!

Ghey.
