From a "/." article, I found something NES related that is weird.

Scroll down until you find this image:

This text is immediately above the image:

Listen up, golddigga! We got some puzzles from Red Bull to solve. We found a secret room. That was fun.

Using http://www.onlineconversion.com/morse_code.htm (and retyping the morse code, as copy+paste did not work (original uses some UNICODE chars that the converter can't handle)) gives

BK THE AAKX ITS SRELLED BLETCHLEK RARK.

Anyway, the picture has a moblin between two fires, a blue rupie, the text "You have found a secret room", and this hex string:
, which in ASCII is PEEL T?E FOAM

Somehow related to a Red Bull marketing campaign.

That ? looks like an 8, so the text must be "PEEL THE FOAM" (it's also the blog's entry name!)

So this is just viral marketing then?

The above is probably "By the ???? it's spelled Bletchley Park."

It is some marketing. Viral, idk?

I was more curious if the "screen shot" was a hacked rom, or a photoshop; if anyone here knew.

I don't care how spiffy Red Bull's geek-targeted marketing is, I'm never drinking any of their shit.

Man, red bull's advertising campaigns have really been rubbing me the wrong way. Between this and their "Noise Complaint" shit...

EDIT (& rational response):
Most likely it was just a photoshopped image file put on the device.
