PS3 ‘jailbreak code’ retweeted by Sony’s Kevin Butler, no punchline needed

Oh, honey. Sony PlayStation’s (entirely fictional) Kevin Butler holds many (also fictional) positions within the company, but apparently none of them require him to keep up with (very real) news events. Travis La Marr (aka @exiva) tweeted the now-infamous PS3 METLDR root key towards Butler with the challenge to “Come at me.” What’s a spokeperson to do but confuse it for a Battleship refrence and retweet the entire code? Obviously someone let him in on the joke, as the tweet’s since been removed (original URL can be found as More Coverage below). At least Sony won’t have to subpoena for his info here. Geohot , we hope you’re laughing. [Thanks, Scott M] PS3 ‘jailbreak code’ retweeted by Sony’s Kevin Butler, no punchline needed originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 09 Feb 2011 01:04:00 EDT.
