Matt Groening Kills Self After Watching 20th Season of The Simpsons

Creator of the SImpsons, Matt "Groaning" Groening ended his own life yesterday in the office of his Los Angleles home.

Long honoured for creating 10 seasons of fantastic shows, Mr Groening had since handed production over to new younger writers at FOX.
The show had been running for 10 more seasons since then - the newest 20th season airing last month.
Unbeknownst to his ex-coworkers and family, Groening had not watched a single episode since he left the show ten years ago.

The shock of seeing how poor the show had become was too much to bear for him, so he took his own life with a necktie attached to a roof beam, believed to be emblazoned with the one-liner from the show "Eat My Shorts".

Police found Mr Groening, known as "Groanzy" to his friends, surrounded by several pre-release DVDs of the hideous 20th season of the show and a suicide note which read as follows:

"They killed it. I can't believe how much they killed it. I swear I didn't know. May God forgive me for unleashing this on the world -M.G".

A memorial service will be held for Groanzy later in the week.
