Praise be the gods, our long national nightmare of peace and quiet is over. After firing Gilbert Gottfried from his job voicing Aflac's screaming spokes-duck, the insurance company has completed its national search for a less offensive replacement. The winner is a sales manager from Hugo, Minnesota (population: 13,000) named Daniel McKeague. Congratulations, Daniel. We can't wait to scramble for the mute button every time your bone-chilling squawk comes on TV.

When Gilbert Gottfried was fired from the role of the Aflac duck for making terrible tsunami jokes, he was just the latest in a long line of insurance spokesmen to get fired amid public outrage. (Well, there's another one.)
