Perhaps the point was, that people were fooled only because they understood that sockpuppets were against the rules, and even moderators and owners should not be beyond the rules, and trust that the rules are upheld for everyone.
I'm not overly annoyed myself, I did laugh, the only bit that makes me a little irritable is the idea that I have wasted a lot of time over the last few weeks responding to people who I should have every reason to believe are genuine.
Just playing devils advocate on this one, I understand why people are angry about it. I just consider that on a scale of things to get shitty about, this is remarkably low on that scale.
EDIT: I'd also like to point out the dangerous precedent. If someone creates sockpuppet next year, and then declares it a big joke.. will you be enforcing the rules on them as a mere member, because that would be hypocritical.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
