The fact that the press release was made only 5 minutes before trading closed might, in fact, support this idea that it was aimed at automated trading as a human wouldn't have had much time to react to the news so close to the end of the day.

On the contrary: if humans take more than 5 minutes to react, then releasing a joke 5 minutes before trading ends has no risk of harming the stock if people misinterpret the press release as fact.
