The real Cheetah died in the 1960s or 70s. Jane Goodall was on NPR's "Wait, wait. Don't tell me" a few months ago and during that segment they debunked the story of the chimp and these people's claims.

This upsets me more than that alcoholic scumbag from Saturday Night Live.

Best quote:

A sanctuary volunteer told the paper that fingerpainting was not Cheetah's only talent.

"When he didn't like somebody or something that was going on, he would pick up some poop and throw it at them


Yup, a genuine all-round entertainer

Big bucket of wind he will be missed.

I wonder who will file the first lawsuit claiming a portion of his estate? Maybe that woman who got her face ripped off by the chimp will claim he was Cheetah's nephew, and she deserves some of his money. Either that or Gloria Allred will drag out some botox skank, who'll claim to have been Cheetah's mistress and he promised to take care of her for the rest of her life. You just know it's coming before they read the will.

Poor Cheetah. Rest in peace, lil buddy. :hatsoff:
