With Gilbert Gottfried getting fired from Aflac for his insensitive Japan earthquake Tweets, THR looks back at ridiculous 140-letter messages.

Gilbert Gottfried was fired as an Aflac spokesperson after his crude Tweets about the Japan earthquake. But he's not the first -- or the last -- celebrity to post a ridiculous statement on the microblogging site. Below, the 10 most stupid Hollywood Tweets.
 
1. Gilbert Gottfried on the Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims: "I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, 'They'll be another one floating by any minute now.'" The joke got him fired Monday from his role as the voice of the Aflac duck.
 
2. 50 Cent, on the tsunami that was headed to the West Coast on Friday: "Wave will hit 8am them crazy white boys gonna try to go surfing."
