The account grew very popular in the weeks following its conception, leading to media coverage.

Spread

The account quickly grew in popular, gaining over 34,900 followers in a little over two weeks. Many of the account's tweets are taken at face value (examples shown below).

In interviews with Daily Dot[2] and Mashable,[3] the creator behind the account, named "Sean," explained that he would never break character on the account, and responds to people not understanding the joke with more absurd "errors" (examples shown below).
