The sexual harassment suit revolving around Koko was one of the last things I expected to happen. posted by Renoroc at 2:25 PM on November 11, 2011 [1 favorite]
Koko met Betty White
The video and slideshow of the two of them together actually brought tears (of joy/delight) to my eyes. posted by ericb at 2:26 PM on November 11, 2011
Three former female employees have claimed that they were pressured into showing their breasts to Koko. They alleged that Patterson encouraged the behavior, often interpreted Koko's signs as requests for nipple display, and let them know that their job would be in danger if they "did not indulge Koko's nipple fetish posted by KokuRyu at 2:27 PM on November 11, 2011

"Mister Rogers: How do you say love for sign language?
Producer: Can you show him how to say love? How do you say love?
Koko is busy exploring Mister Rogers' fingers with her lips.
Koko: What that, flower? (Touching Mister Rogers' cufflink.)
P: She's asking you about your cufflink, is that a flower.
MR: That's a sun. And my grandfather gave me these.
P: It's a sun. It looks like a flower though....
K: Hurry...
P: Can we talk a little bit about love?
K: Frown.
P: Frown? Oh, honey! What? Love?
K: Love you visit... (To Mister Rogers.)
MR: Love. (Trying the sign.)
K: ...Koko-love.
MR: Oh, thank you, Koko.
P: That's very nice, she loves her visitor.
MR: Well, I love visiting with you."

For real. Say Koko had a massive intellect, but he had problems with words. How long would he put up with that ridiculous banter before just pulling the arms off Mr. Rogers. posted by three blind mice at 2:47 PM on November 11, 2011

Oh please, two of those women have filed for bankruptcy, and the third lives in the same apartment building as one of Dumbo's assistants. And Koko would never had anything to do with out-of-court settlements, anyway. posted by PlusDistance at 2:55 PM on November 11, 2011

Wait, we've learnt how to talk with animals only to discover they're sexual deviants? posted by Jehan at 4:04 PM on November 11, 2011
All kidding aside, seems like Koko is nude, and interested in people, and wanting to see their breasts isn't really so strange... The lucky so-and-sos get to work with Koko, couldn't they get past their human-centrism just a bit for that privilege? posted by Meatbomb at 12:46 AM on November 12, 2011
Maybe it's just too early in the morning, but I can't even joke about Koko, nipples notwithstanding. Koko is amazing, and makes me think about all the gorillas we've killed or consigned to cages. posted by Clyde Mnestra at 6:05 AM on November 12, 2011
