This is actually an off-shoot of the Anna Nicole Smith effect, which itself is derived from The Jesus Effect. It basically means nobody care or liked someone and then they died and suddenly everyone cares.
"Harambe deserved a chance, but they killed him in cold blood."
"This is the Anna Nicole Smith Effect all over again, you didnt care about that monkey but now it dies and youre all about apes rights... Hokay."
"Dont even try debating it with him, he will just pretend he cared even more. The Harambe Effect got him good."

1. "UGH we could have ended the meeting a half hour early but there was MAJOR asshole effect going on today!"
2. "This is a nice report on our fourth quarter earnings. However, in your pie chart you use magenta and I think that crimson would be more pleasing to the eyes."
"You know, John, when this is printed out through the second floor copier, the color is always slightly different than what appears on screen."
"Hmm, is that so? Has Richard looked at that lately? Have we been sending out reports with the wrong color of crimson this whole time?"
"I think mauve would be a nice color. It was used on the quarter 3 report. It also matches nicely with our company's logo."
"How about colorblind people? Will this be a problem when they read the report?"
"Hmm, Chad, can you get us some numbers on how many potentially colorblind people will be reading this?"
"Ooh, we might also want to do a cost-benefit analysis of toner costs."
<sigh...>
