LOS ANGELES (AP) - First, a fake critic. Now, fake fans. A couple used to promote "The Patriot" in man-on-the-street testimonials were employees of Sony Pictures Entertainment's worldwide marketing department. Tamaya Petteway, who characterized the Revolutionary War film as a "perfect date movie" in the TV commercial, is an assistant to Sony marketing executive Dana Precious, who oversaw the promotional campaign. Anthony Jefferson, another employee, stood beside Petteway and smiled approvingly. The two are among dozens of apparent moviegoers who praise "The Patriot" in the promo. Sony, hoping to shield the workers from scrutiny after the trade paper Variety first reported it Friday, refused to make them available for comment later in the day. Sony spokeswoman Susan Tick said there will be no punishment for "The Patriot" commercial because some involved with its production have left the company and Sony has already promised to change its policies.

Geeze....all they woulda had to do was call on us if they wanted to make the commercial. No &#34;fakes&#34; required. It was an awesome movie! <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;">

I wouldn&#39;t doubt Sony wasn&#39;t the only one doing this though.

Sony should make a Precious Moment of Abigail. <BR> <BR>The employees nevertheless knew it is a great movie. <BR> <BR>Dean and Roland can handle it- they&#39;re the MAN! <BR> <BR>The Patriot is an exquisitely made perfect anytime movie &#40;especially around Independence Day&#41; <BR> <BR>Put the gloves on Trina hehehe At least you&#39;d get to see this excellent MOVIE again and be amazed at true quality.
