Gilbert Gottfreid is worse than Japanese earthquake and tsunami

"I was talking to my Japanese real estate agent. I said 'is there a school in this area.' She said 'not now, but just wait.'" Gilbert Gottfreid said this, or really tweeted it, along with a few other jokes. It got him fired from his job as the voice of the Aflac duck. I think he absolutely should have been fired for making a bad joke, what does he think he is ... a comedian? Wait, he is a comedian? Well, then he's not allowed to make bad jokes. From now on, any comedian who makes bad jokes, even via twitter, should be fired from every job they have. It might be unfair, overly reactionary, and quite un-funny, but it might open up some jobs for the rest of us. Plus, we have to put an end to insensitive comments, just look at the impact that Gilbert Gottfreid's tweet had on the catastrophe in Japan. Forget about nuclear meltdown, this is what is driving despair in Japan. Gottfreid should be put in prison. Damn him!
