NEW YORK
Aflac Inc. will begin accepting submissions on Wednesday in its
search for a unique voice to replace Gilbert Gottfried's signature
squawk. Gottfried was ousted last week after voicing the duck for
more than 10 years because he made insensitive remarks on Twitter
about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
Anyone interested can submit a 30-second audio or video file
belting their best version of the "Aflac" squawk at
www.quackaflac.com. A 2006 ad featuring the Aflac duck in a silent
movie -- with no dialogue at all -- was re-edited to promote the
search and will begin airing Wednesday.
The submission deadline is midnight on April Fool's Day.
