Breaking: The fake Twitter account for 'We Bought a Zoo' (@WEBOUGHTAZ00) has just committed suicide. The Twitter handle first popped up on Dec. 7, and has been non-stop with its hilarious yet oddly philosophical tweets from the point of view of Matt Damon (or Damon's character in 'We Bought a Zoo' -- sometimes it's hard to tell). However, it looks like the fun has finally come to an end. In a recent string of tweets, @WEBOUGHTAZ00 went off in a literal blaze of glory. Check out the dark and bizarre turn of (fake) events ahead.
A breakfast of yogurt with granola, coffee, and a banana. No sausage. No bacon. For today is not about eating animals, but freeing them.

The animals and I are connected now. They trust me. As I open their cages I don't fear them. They are ready to follow me. We begin walking.

The journey to Affleck's aquarium was not a long one. My army of animals stands loyally at my side. We spot Ben. They charge.

Things degenerate from there into a fiery and disturbing end. R.I.P @WEBOUGHTAZ00 12/7/11 - 12/23/11.
The last tweet told audiences to go see 'We Bought a Zoo,' in theaters today -- which apparently absolves whoever was running the account from being slapped with a lawsuit from 20th Century Fox. Our favorite post from the account's short life is below.
Asked my daughter what she wants for Christmas. She said, "Our house back," then I put her back with the sheep because I have a zoo to run.
