A fake resignation letter from a frustrated "journalist" sick of writing about Kylie Jenner has gone viral on social media, with people giving shout-outs to the reporter for "standing up for what is right."

The letter is actually an article by satirical site Waterford Whispers News, the Irish equivalent of The Onion, entitled "Did Kylie Jenner Get a Boob Job? Why Am I Being Paid To Write About This Shite?"

In it, the author launches a mouth-fouled tirade against the editor, Siobhan, who asked them to write another story about the youngest Jenner.

"FUCKING probably yeah, but why the fuck do I have to write 500 words on it and 'include 5 pictures from her Instagram or Snapchat'," reads the opening. "Yeah, al-fucking-right Siobhan, thanks for the email. This is exactly why I studied journalism, cheers for hiring me. Fucking dream job my hole."

An image of the article, entitled "Best resignation article ever," was one of the most popular images on Imgur, with 27,000 points:
