THE REVIEWER's LIFE
How I missed this tongue in cheek article, I don't know. Be forewarned, the writer must have overdosed on 1950's grade-B gangster movies.
Read Mike Johnston's humorous take on how camera companies supposedly
bribe reviewers.
Personally, I found the bribe from the OM bunch the most poignant. The Konica-Minolta bribe would be the most useful.
The Sony bribe?
As they say in the movies, "Fugedaboudit!"

"Flag-draped coffins are secured inside a cargo plane on April 7 at Kuwait International Airport. Military and civilian crews take great care with the remains of U.S. military personnel killed in Iraq. Soldiers form an honor guard and say a prayer as, almost nightly, coffins are loaded for the trip home." The Seattle Times
