I am absolutely shocked, stunned and amazed. I just found out that the Aflac duck was fired! Yep, it's true. Well actually it was his voice that was fired after comedian Gilbert Gottfried made some derogatory comments on his twitter account concerning the earthquake disaster in Japan. Best known for his trademark comedic persona of speaking in a loud, grating tone of voice, his is the voice of Iago the parrot in the Disney movie Aladdin.
Aflac's statement is this, "Gilbert's recent comments about the crisis in Japan were lacking humor and certainly do not represent the thoughts and feelings of anyone at Aflac. There is no place for anything but compassion and concern during these difficult times".
So, the spokesperson for Aflac is no longer the voice of the company because he wasn't a good representative of the company. What a great reminder that we too, are spokespersons for the kingdom and the King. The way we live, drive, act, behave, the comments we post on facebook, all reflect to the world who and what we are. I wonder, could you be fired as God's spokesperson? Just saying....
