If the Red Panda Was A Famous Person, Who Would It Be?

I think that if the Red Panda was a famous person it would be a comedian named Red Foxx. I have two things to explain: first, why a comedian; and second, what's with the name?

The Red Panda, in my opinion, is a comedian. Sure it's cute but in the zoo, when you first come in it looks at you and gives you a look that says " Why are you in my room?" I mean in a way it is their room. Then it sticks it's red rear end in your face as if to say, " the nerve of people today," or "I will pay no attention to that thing over there," or " As if! They walk into my room, without asking and I am supposed to be all nice?" So as you can see, they can be quite funny at times.

Now the name, Red Foxx, Red Panda, see anything there? First, they both can be names of animals and second, they both have the word red in them!
