I was just looking into articles relating to silence being violence in the wake of the me too movement and Bubbles the Chimp was mentioned due to him not speaking out against the atrocities that Michael Jackson committed against every child he ever met in his entire life.

When I went to Bubbles' wikipedia article, I saw no death date and was shocked as I thought he died years ago.

Apparently he his 39 years old and lives in Austin, Texas.

He is seeing out his days at the Center for Great Apes which I find strange as he was always mediocre to me.

This is a shitpost but it is worth it when you read in the wiki article that when MJ's press officer told Bubbles that MJ had died "he went bananas", that was worth it, no?

According to Robert Thompson, professor of popular culture at Syracuse University, Jackson's acquisition of Bubbles was "when the weirdness began to reach mythic proportions". Jackson and Bubbles' bond, as well as Jackson's other alleged eccentricities, contributed to the media nickname "Wacko Jacko", which Jackson came to despise. The media often focused on Bubbles, rather than Jackson's music, and published false stories, such as the allegation that Bubbles was not a single ape, but one of several. A later claim suggested that Bubbles had died; Jackson's press agent Lee Solters told reporters that "when Bubbles heard about his demise he went bananas... Like Mark Twain, his death is grossly exaggerated and he's alive and doing well."
The media also falsely reported that Bubbles would be the ringbearer at Elizabeth Taylor's wedding at Neverland Ranch in 1991; according to The New York Times, it was "an idea that some newspapers found too delightful not to report." The National Enquirer claimed that the musician Prince had used extrasensory perception to turn Bubbles crazy. According to the story, Jackson said: "What kind of sicko would mess with a monkey? This is the final straw. Poor, poor Bubbles."

Curiously, Bubbles' long history of molesting young monkeys has been largely forgotten because as we all know: monkey see, monkey do.

According to CNN, Jackson and his children visited Bubbles and played with the other animals at the ranch.[25] "[Jackson] still acts like a kid around them", Dunn said.[25] The Washington Times, however, claimed Jackson did not visit Bubbles, despite Jackson's representative having stated that he would like to meet him again.[26] Shortly afterward, in December 2003, it was claimed that Bubbles had attempted suicide.[nb 2][31][32] He was supposedly taken to a hospital in time to be saved.[32]

You've seen that horrible video where the chimp orally rapes a frog, no doubt killing the poor ampibian in the process. Well chimp suicide is similar, except the chimp offers the use of his mouth to the nearest elephant.

Gotta say, "chimp orally raping a frog" is something i haven't watched. In fact, uhh you might be one of the only ones seen it here and that's saying something

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

How curious that Bubbles declined to speak of MJ even after his death, as if he was complicit in everything.
