Bubbles, the Forgotten Jackson

Everything about that family is tragic.

This is Michael Jackson Death Anniversary Week, of course. We turn now to a forgotten member of the MJ story: Bubbles. The famous chimp was sent off to a sanctuary in 2004, but apparently he still has a place in LaToya's heart.

It's not until she starts sobbing "I miss you Bubbles" that you realize how much we all missed Bubbles.

1:23 is the moment where Bubbles appears to be asking the cameraman "dude, who is this crazy lady? How many pieces of mango am I getting for this? I have to talk to my agent."

The clip promo'd a show called "Michael Jackson and Bubbles: The Untold Story," which is the complete and total definition of something I do not want to learn about. It was on the Animal Planet channel, though, so it's probably safe.
