You Can Never Forget Harambe

You can always forget an ex, but you can never forget Harambe

A split image shows a tattooed upper arm with a portrait of an ex-partner on one side and Harambe, the famous gorilla, on the other. The joke is that a painful breakup may fade from memory, but the internet’s collective memory of Harambe is unforgettable. It is used as a nostalgic or absurd reaction to emphasize that something will never be forgotten.
