Monkey News!There are various reports today saying that Cheeta, the 76-year-old star of the Tarzan films, did not receive enough votes to merit a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2009.
This injustice will not stand.
Here is a list of characters that do have stars; Godzilla, Mickey Mouse, Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, Donald Duck, Big Bird, Snow White, Bugs Bunny, The Simpsons and Kermit the Frog. Most of them aren't even real.
Earlier this year, The Munchkins from "The Wizard of Oz" were honored on that famous walk. Walking dead Ozzy Osborne has a star. So does Britney Spears and Pee Wee Herman.
Cheeta needs our help.
An online petition has been set up in the hopes of bringing attention to this travesty. See it here. I have signed her, you should do the same.
In addition, an "interview" with the great ape can be seen here.
God speed Cheeta.

Done. Glad to see Cheetah's still kicking it.
I heard sometimes these guys aren't treated to well. There was some Matthew Broderick flick where some apes were supposedly abused.
Cheeta has my support.
E, remeber 12 monkies? The didn't ever get a part.
And don't forget 28 Days Later, where crazy caged chimps offed Brittan.
Monkies and great apes don't get any respect.
Yep, it was called Project X. It had monkeys named Virgil, Goliath and Bluebeard.

Dude, cheetah doesn't even come close to deserve a star. I cant believe you compared him to Lassie, Mickey, Ozzy, etc.
It's fricken Cheetah. When you mention the name Cheetah most people are going to say Oh, you mean Chester Cheetah the Cheetos mascot?
Cheetah ranks much much lower on the scale of popularity. Probably about 15 notches below Buck, the Dog from Married with Children.
Dude, I think Trix the rabbit would rank higher than Cheetah.
Come on!
A chip was the first american in space.... good 'ol Ham...
Dave is upset that I made a crack about his Mom yesterday. He knows the only real way to get my goat is disrespecting monkeys.
Okay Dave, we're even. Don't speak that way about Cheeta.
Well, this is going no where fast, unlike cheeta....
Damn Dave... When I hear Cheetah the last that come to my mind is Chester Cheetah...
Whats your issue? Didn't Cheetah return your calls after that date? Maybe it has been good for you only...
I didn't know Dave was into geriatric primates...
If this couldn't get any more aggravating, The Village People received enough votes to get their star. Tragedy.
What about George Michal's monkey?
Johnny, you should do a Meme on it.
