Harambe hecklers were the talk of the 2016 PGA Championship

Harambe the gorilla may be gone, but he definitely hasn't been forgotten.

You'll remember that the primate was shot dead at the beginning of the summer after a four-year-old child jumped into his enclosure at Cincinnati Zoo. That led to widespread uproar across the globe, with everyone having their own opinion of whether or not the correct judgement call was made. Some were convinced that the footage showed the gorilla was actually trying to protect the boy, but zookeepers were quick to defend the actions of their fellow professionals. Regardless of your moral standpoint, Harambe is gone. His time on earth ended abruptly, and we like to reassure ourselves that he's passed into the gorilla afterlife, enjoying unlimited fruit on a daily basis. But his legacy is nowhere close to extinguishing. We're still not sure how it happened, but Harambe was reborn, and endures, as an absolutely unstoppable collection of memes. An animal's death is clearly not a laughing matter, but the parody-worthy furore - where overnight everyone seemed to become a naturalist - coupled with a genuine desire to honour the gorilla's memory, has made Harambe the unlikely mascot of the viral internet. https://twitter.com/marincogan/status/756129001509416960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/electrolemon/status/751949851131162624?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/WORLDSTAR/status/740046957595369474?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw And now we've had actual Harambe hecklers at The PGA Championship in New Jersey over the weekend. Golfers lining up important shots were repeatedly interrupted - Happy Gilmore style - by spectators still fighting in Harambe's corner. The bizarre tributes naturally didn't go unnoticed. https://twitter.com/SBNation/status/759877218910613504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/KidMelancholy/status/759871650104049664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/TopTierU/status/759864502791835648?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/TopTierU/status/758769075552129024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/NickCinseruli/status/759871744912031745 https://twitter.com/alexturcotte9/status/759871635025342464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/psych_captain/status/759871513063411713?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/AtticusHughes1/status/759871504112881664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw The Harambe movement is irrepressible.
