Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Gilbert Gottfried canned as Aflac Duck after insensitive Japanese earthquake tweets
Salon recently interviewed Gilbert about jokes told too soon. I guess he was not allowed to discuss Aflac. http://www.salon.com/books/int/2011/04/24/gilbert_gottfried_aflac_rubber_balls -- Kevin M.

I guess those commercials are polarized ... either you love them or you hate them. Personally, one of the best commercials I've seen in recent years was the Aflac spot where Yogi Berra spouts his usual share of malaprops in a barber shop while Gilbert the Duck tries to (in vain) make sense of what Yogi is saying. As Aflac was one of the sponsors of the Dodgers telecasts on Prime Ticket the past couple of seasons, I would see that spot several times a week and it never got old. Short of it popping up on YouTube, I guess we'll never see that one again.

I have my own quick reaction when they come on, which is to change channels or at least hit the mute button. -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens online stays around forever. FWIW, here's a blog entry I published on Gottfried's actions and Aflac's reaction titled, 'A Scorpion, a Frog and an Aflac Duck' http://wp.me/piucb-dg Ron Casalotti Wayne, NJ On Mar 16, 12:58 am, Kevin M. drunkbastar...@gmail.com wrote: Keep in mind, as evidenced by the documentary, that Gilbert was the guy at the Hefner roast who broke the tension shortly after 9/11 by telling his version of The Aristocrats. He may not be everybody's cup of tea -- I find him annoying at times -- but his actions are not without precedent.

One was pretty tasteless but not shocking, something about how if you need a new girlfriend one will come floating past soon. The other, about Japan being so technologically advanced that the ocean now comes to you, was something I found amusing but not the sort of thing I'd say in public unless I knew nobody who heard it would be offended. The problem with the internet is that somebody will always be offended. -- David J. Lynch djly...@gmail.com -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!
