It is related to the ones you hear on the radio (or rather, don't hear) when D.J.'s offhandedly promote a product or event as if they were speaking from experience when actually they are being paid to subversively promote it. Instead of "Buy Tide Soap." it is now, "Man Beowulf was a good movie. It is almost as good as that Tide soap I have been using for years for the cleanest laundry ever. Now: Traffic brought to you by Cathy McFlintknocker." GameSpot and IGN pad reviews for over-hyped games for money. This is nothing new. However if someone buys a shit product based on their overblown rating and learn they have been had of course there needs to be backlash. As a company they have every right to fire an employee that doesn't have their interests at heart (they aren't paying for dissent) however they must live with the consequences of the way they choose to run their business.
