Dan Turner, Gov. Hayley Barbour’s press secretary resigned after it came out that he made a series of poor jokes including this one in emails: “Otis Redding posthumously received a gold record for his single, (Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay. (Not a big hit in Japan right now.),” Turner wrote. Source
Gilbert Gottfried just lost his job as the voice of the Aflac spokesduck after tweeting a series of really gross jokes about the disaster in Japan.
Why would the disaster even be thought of as a basis for jokes? My mind and body do not even go there.
