Sony: Kevin Butler isn't real, can't give interviews
85
Sadly, Sony pitchman Kevin Butler is not a real person, but SCEA VP Peter Dille says word may not have gotten around. "We've gotten contact from media people that aren't aware that he's a character, asking for an interview!" he told Industry Gamers ... Well, you can't blame us for trying, can you?

Yeah, and do you think any celebrity's account is actually owned and operated by them?
Unless you're being sarcastic. I can't tell with your disappointed (=/) expression.

There are no women on the internet. For every 100 guys, there's 20 females. 16 of those are old men roleplaying girls, 3 of those are teenage guys roleplaying girls, and 1 is a legit female. The Internet is a huge sausage fest.

I didn't mean literally no women. But 1 out of 100 is pretty much none. All these people I see playing women in games are usually guys.

You know what they say. Any publicity is good publicity.
I shall consider this a challenge!

Well you've got a good chance right now. I'm watching the Sony presser and following a Liveblog on 1up, because Joystiq hates Sony.
(kidding!)

@The MARIO Do what?
Twitter accounts for many celebrities are OPERATED by other people. This fact was recently made apparent when Paris Hilton was in custody with no access to Twitter...yet tweeting away.
Plus your evidence is a little shaky. It is more personal so ..therefore it is absolutely the person?
Is that Old Spice guy really answering me when I send tweets their way?

No kidding. What freakin difference does it make? Hate it when people come here and start talking absolute nonsense about nothing. Generally speaking, the purpose for the comments section is to sound off about things relating to the article/post at hand. Get back to it.

Everyone knows humor was invented in America in 1780 when George Washington, while simultaneously riding a motorcycle and banging a supermodel, made the first ever joke. The rest of the world just hasn't caught up to us in our deep understanding of it.

Twitter is different....sure KBs account is ran by marketing but a lot of of celeb accounts are ran by themselves and not PR....which is simple enough to tell from the comments they make....it was the MySpace pages that were not being ran by celebs most times
