I'm not saying he's wrong for creating those jokes. It's not something he can just turn off. Most of his creations aren't going to be seen as appropriate. His firing was inevitable. He is an artist that offends people. An insurance company wants to appear to be looking like they're helping people. Those are very different goals. At some point, this was gunna be seen as an inappropriate partnership. This (trying to find humor in a deadly tragedy that cost his employer a shyt load of money) was that time.
