If it's an April Fools Day hoax or some such, I never, ever want to see his comedy troupe, because, while amusing (and that only for the pleasure of imagining a cheating college student being introduced to the results of their own actions), it pretty much fails as premeditated humor.

That said, I think most fiction writers haven't a sufficient love of realism to produce such a mundane anti-climax. And the level of premeditation would be pretty extraordinary - putting a real name in (that could be checked), taking it out, leaving residual code clues so you could still figure out what it was and check it again, it all seems an awful lot of really carefully thought out technical planning for a goof.
