He wrote an intro to a Mad magazine compendium that includes the sentence "Now I am a parrot." So true.

I am pretty sure that guy has realized he's not universally loved by now. the jokes were stupid and distasteful but on a certain level I think it's better to just ignore people who do this rather than make it a national news story instead of making it into a game about how offended / morally superior we are.

Yeah okay captain sanctimony. First of all, I'm not trolling. I'm just saying that these are good jokes and I don't think they need to be defended on any other grounds aside from being funny. Guess that means my mom and dad should drown to death. I do think your whole outrage act is pretty phony and that you just want to feel aggrieved about something.
― ℳℴℯ ❤\(◕‿◕✿ (Princess TamTam), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 14:22 (thirteen years ago) link
You're a douchebag plain and simple. The jokes aren't funny in ANY context, let alone one where a natural disaster IS STILL GOING ON. I'm sure its hard to understand with your "irony" or whatever fucking pathetic defense you want to throw up, but I ACTUALLY AM OUTRAGED. Not phony.

I wonder what Aflac's going to do now; find a soundalike or just use old recordings? I mean that duck is the only thing they have going for them right now. Ultimately I think they made the right call although I question how many people think that Gilbert "represents" Aflac the same way that say, Tiger Woods represented Nike.
I didn't really think the jokes were funny either, but this is what he does. I did find the 9/11 jokes to be hilarious, not because they were funny, but the reaction of the horrified audience was priceless. A lot of comedians claim to be or want to be known as being offensive and edgy but it's not like you can rattle people by saying the word "fuck" anymore.
