Who said You can't believe everything you read on the Internet That's how World War 1 got started?

This phrase was from a television commercial that debuted in the Fall of 2009 for Sony.
PlayStation pitch man "Kevin Butler," who bears an ever-changing title, used the phrase to discredit an internet rumor for a "Dear PlayStation" inquiry made by "Rumor Monger, Bernie Buncalan."
The full commercial can be viewed here with the phrase in question being stated at the 0:10 mark of the video:

From a factual perspective, the phrase is a falsity, since World War I predated the invention of the internet by several decades. It has been also noted that this line was actually a substitute and Kevin Butler's original response was "You can't believe everything you read on the Internet. Otherwise, I'd be a Nigerian millionaire by now."

The original version of the commercial apparently drew the ire of the Nigerian Government, and after a formal complaint lodged by the African nation, Sony pulled the plug on that spot, changing the line to the one referenced here in this question.

What was the World War 2 mainly about?
WW1 never really settled anything. Hitler was planning to start a war. All the presidents got together and talked. They agreed that they would give hitler their land back that they had lost in WW1. THey agreed. 6 months later the war started. Hitler didnt keep his word. Hitler had secretly been planning and training his army for months. They started taking land from other countrys and making it a part of germany. The US stayed out of it since they didnt know. The germans was taking out all of europe. Except england. It was harder since they are a island. Finally after taking out all of europe it was time to take out england. They started bombing London will little bombs. Every night for 6 months they would sleep in ditch or underground subways. The germans started to back off because they realized they were making england stronger.The Germans kept attacking then they set off bombs in hawaii. Thats when the states realized that their was a war going on. They took EVERYTHING they had. And took it to england. Every spare peice of land they had would be used for training in London. US and Canada convinced Russia to help. So Canada Us and England took one half of belguim over and Russia took the other half over. Germany surrendered. Canada US and England started to back off then they realized Russia was keeping the land they had took.
