The deceased gorilla, who was fatally shot on May 28, has since gained a cult-like following from several sources. He’s a well-regarded third party Presidential candidate, per Public Policy Polling.

That’s right. A dead gorilla who will live on forever in spirit is being considered for President.
Harambe isn’t just another gorilla. He’s a hero. Recently, Boston College quarterback Patrick Towles said he would dedicate his season to Harambe. Additionally, there has been a movement for the Cincinnati Bengals to change their name to the Cincinnati Harambes. Harambe was killed at the Cincinnati Zoo.

The Justice for Harambe petition on change.org has over half a million signatures.
Now of course, this doesn’t mean that Vault, the top kick returner in school history, will use the Sharpie tribute on gamedays; in fact, he makes note that it is “for camp.”
Still, Vault is clearly a concerned social activist. This is just the first domino in the Harambe movement in Evanston. Stay tuned.
