Someone Has Set Up A Church Of Latter Day Harambe

Someone Has Set Up A Church Of Latter Day Harambe

I know I say this a lot, but 2016 is weird.

It's been a funny old year, hasn't it? Thank God that it's almost over. Before we hit 2017, though, we've just got one more fucking ridiculous thing to get out there, OK?

Someone on Reddit is claiming that he has set up a church in honour of our Lord and Saviour, Harambe. Dicks out.

A guy going by the name agc4 has said that he wrote to the IRS and filed for tax exemption due to its religious status and the fact that the IRS has accepted it as a legit religious organisation.

He uploaded a photo of the envelope, but, crucially, not the letter, leading to many calling bullshit on whether the IRS would actually give this the OK.

Whether or not this dude has actually managed to get Church of Latter Day Harambe up and running is sort of beside the point. The fact is, he wants to and that's enough.

Are we all sure 2016 is real? It might just be some sort of Black Mirror experiment. Can someone check with Charlie Brooker? Thanks.
