Martin Shkreli is one of the most hated people on the internet and it seems like he gets off on it and every single one of his moves is designed to make people think he’s even more of a prick. I kind of appreciate it to be honest.

Anyway, his latest stunt is to overrule the Cincinnati Zoo’s request that people stop making and sharing memes about their gorilla that was shot by a zookeeper, as it’s not enabling them to move on. The official statement from the zoo’s director Thane Maynard goes like this:
We are not amused by the memes, petitions and signs about Harambe.
Our zoo family is still healing, and the constant mention of Harambe makes moving forward more difficult for us.
We are honouring Harambe by redoubling our gorilla conservation efforts and encouraging others to join us.
Shkreli wasn’t impressed though, replying with the following tweets:
I have a profound love for non-human primates that is 100% real & 0% facetious. These animals are so close to human & we treat them poorly.

So if we want to celebrate the life of Harambe, as a symbolic gesture towards better NHP-Human relations, what is wrong with that?

Anyone interested in joining me in a class-action lawsuit against Cincinnati Zoo? Emotional trauma.

Well, I mean he certainly didn’t mince his words did he? But like I said it’s just the kind of crap we expect from this class A troll these days isn’t it? Like he gives a shit about gorillas and monkeys and other ‘non human primates’ – he’s just a fucking dickhead. Can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.
Did that musical about him ever end up getting made?
