Aflac drops Gilbert Gottfried after he tweets jokes about Japan crisis

After delivering a stream of jokes on Twitter mocking Japan’s devastating earthquake and tsunami, Gottfried was dropped by the insurer Aflac, whose duck mascot he voiced in 50 commercials. The Georgia-based company does 75 percent of its business in Japan.

“I was talking to my Japanese real estate agent,” went one of Gottfried’s dozen cyber cracks that began Saturday. “I said, ‘Is there a school is this area?’ She said, ‘Not now, but just wait.’ ”

And this: “Japan is really advanced. They don’t go to the beach. The beach comes to them.”
