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.

I have no doubt the guy who runs Kevin Butler's twitter and writes all his material knew exactly what he was doing but trying to make it look like the company didn't give a shit, and then the rest of the company was like awww hell na.

If kevin butler wasn't so insanely succesful the guy would probably be fired, big companies can't take a joke

So what does this mean as for jailbreaking 3.56, has he just handed it over in a plate or is it not that simple ?
