Does this story remind anyone else of David Manning? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Manning_(fictitious_writer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Manning_(fictitious_writ... Cause he was a fake 'expert' meant to shill products too. In that case, a fake movie critic created by Sony to sell its worst movies. As it turned out, misleading customers that way was illegal, and hence as mentioned on the wiki page: > On August 3, 2005, Sony made an out-of-court settlement and agreed to refund $5 each to dissatisfied customers who saw Hollow Man, The Animal, The Patriot, A Knight's Tale, or Vertical Limit in American theatres, as a result of Manning's reviews. Wonder if something similar could happen here?
