Charlie the chimp, known for his cigarette habit, has died at his home in a South African Zoo.
After picking up a smoking habit because of cigarettes being thrown into his enclosure at the Mangaung Zoo in Bloemfontein, South Africa, Charlie began to bum smokes from zoo visitors by gesturing to his mouth with two fingers, mimicking the actions of smokers he'd watched.
Visitors continued to indulge the chimp, bringing on a hailstorm of accusations from animal rights activists when videos surfaced online not long after, prompting Bloemfontein zoo officials to try to cut Charlie's nicotine supply off entirely.
Zoo officials claim that smoking was not a factor in the Charlie's death, who at 52, lived ten years beyond the normal life expectancy of the average chimpanzee.
"Even though he has been receiving special care, and a special diet including protein shakes, vitamin and mineral supplements, he succumbed to old age," Zoo spokesman Qondile Khedama told the BBC, which also reports of another chimp in Russia who entered a rehabilitation process after "he started pestering visitors for alcohol and cigarettes." |

Wow, even with smoking lived 10 years past the normal life expectancy. I always thought smoking monkeys were funny.
Also, I did not know that they had Monkey Rehab.

He made the international sign of the cigarette. This is the coolest monkey there ever was.

Bite your tongue. I've been an active anti-smoker for 20 years.

Cigarettes suck ass, crack too. Lots of people get fucked up on that shit. If you seen a chimp with a hole in its neck, would that still be funny?
A chimp on crack would be funny and sad

I'm so bananas I'm showing up to your open casket,
to fill it up with explosive gases,
and close it back,
with a lit match in it,
while I sit back, and just hope it catches.
Blow you to fragments,
laugh,
roll you, and smoke the ashes.

The monkey died of old age. Not cigarettes. Hence, cool monkey.

He lived 10 years longer than normal chimps?
Looks like smoking may be good for your health after all.

A crack money wouldn't be sad, it would be horrifying beyond all rational description.
