Is Fidel Castro Dead?

No. He's Alive!

Well, According to Hugo Chavez.


OH Darn.

Cuba's official spokeperson, Hugo Chavez, is denying rumors of his idol and mentor's demise:

"On the Internet rumors are circulating that Fidel Castro has died," Chavez said during his weekly Sunday broadcast. "Fidel is producing, he is writing."

(Ya think Hugo reads Perez Hilton????????)

.

Of course Chavez has also told us in the past that Fidel was "almost jogging" and wandering around the countryside at night when the Bearded Bastard practically had one foot on board the River Styx Ferry.

.

But hey, this is Chavez we're talking about. He also believes that he's a TV star, that he can sing and in something called XXI Century Socialism which is basically him giving Cuba 100,000 barrels of oil a day.

Update:

Hugo is also working on a comedy routine about building artificial islands and killing Yanquis.
