Cincinnati Zoo pleads "Stop making memes of our dead gorilla"

[Gib Lover]

"We are not amused by the memes, petitions and signs about Harambe," Thane Maynard, Cincinnati Zoo director, told the Associated Press. "Our zoo family is still healing, and the constant mention of Harambe makes moving forward more difficult for us. We are honoring Harambe by redoubling our gorilla conservation efforts and encouraging others to join us."

Other voices on the internet have said that the jokes have now gone too far and should be brought to an end.

WCPO-TV web editor James Leggate recently started his own petition, for instance, which asks that petitions about Harambe are stopped.

"At first, the petitioners had good intentions," he wrote. "But then the goofuses of the Internet hopped on the Harambe train for their jollies, and it has gotten out of control."

You hear that, goofuses? STOP making Harambe jokes. Because if there's one thing I've learned on the internet, it's that telling people to stop doing something will definitely stop it.

Fuck you Cincinnati Zoo, you killed my friend and now you're never going to hear the end of it.

Why do they care? They should focus more on their jobs than what gets made into a meme. Gonna make a meme of him now just for that. It's like these people just discovered the internet.

Also, someone should post a link to rule 34 to them. See how they like that.

A space tyrant once said that, and then he was cut in half and a planet blew up. Be careful with your words.

If you don't like the memes...don't look at them?

I think this lays it out pretty much perfectly.

Last I saw "Dicks out for Harambe" had started turning into "Tits out for Harambe".

Honestly I had no clue what it was until I logged into wow for the first time in a few months the other day and saw chat flooded with talk about "Harambe" while doing invasions.

"Please internet, stop making fun of something"

Well, I guess Harambe memes just doubled their lifespans.

God I wish I could tell all the people who don't live online to never ever try to stop "the internet" from doing what they want to do. It will always just cause the event to occur more.

[Ryme]

I gotta give, this meme in particular is good for picking out people I don't want to engage with for enjoyment.

This is how I feel about almost every meme.

Another idiot. You do realize they raised him all the way from birth right? The irony is that if he ended up killing the kid people would be all up in arms that the Gorilla's life was deemed more worthy than the child's. They weren't going to win no matter the outcome.
