The latest video from Sony's fictional Vice President of a whole bunch of things has everything you could ever ask for: Tons of Kevin Butler bon mots, some clips of gameplay footage from ModNation Racers, and an appearance by real-life Sony president and CEO Jack Tretton. Unless, of course -- what if Tretton's actually just a highly paid actor as well? Come to think of it, we've never seen him in any context except for ... on the stage!
Check out the video above to see the line between fantasy and reality get blurred before your very eyes. Also, the video contains a sneak peek at Kevin Butler's custom Mod and race track -- both of which will be available to download when ModNation Racers launches next week.

KB really, really needs to make an appearance at the Sony Conference at E3. Anything less, I don't care what games they show, will be a failure.

Yep, get this guy at the E3 presentation!!! Maybe then he can play some Man Furismo Jibe against the too much gel guy. How awesome would that be?

Kevin Butler aside.. Might I just add: 4 player split-screen? ModNation Racers = Little Big Kart. This is going to be awesome, trust me - just buy it.

What Kevin didn't tell you was that his centaur/motorcycle creation was pitched for God of War III but they couldn't use it because they all felt it was "too advanced" of a concept for what they were trying to create.
