Date: March 12, 2011

As if sending out a tweet about the Japanese tsunami that killed over 15,000 people that was offensive to both Japanese and Jewish people, comedian Gilbert Gottfried followed up with another disturbing message that read: “I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, ‘They’ll be another one floating by any minute now.'” He lost his gig as the Aflack duck shortly after.
