Be Careful What You Say. A Lesson from Sony.

I saw this story on BoingBoing.net. Sony is being forced to refund $5 to any cinemagoer who, upon the recommendation of film critic David Manning, went to see Hollow Man, Vertical Limit, A Knight's Tale, The Animal or The Patriot as the result of a class action suit. Here is the problem, there is no David Manning. He was made up by a sony marketing executive. He provided great reviews for these movies, in an effort by Sony to increase ticket sales. Honesty is always the best policy.
