Line 181:
* Elimination show and beauty contest ''The Swan'', which took ordinary-looking women and gave them plastic surgery to bring them closer to mainstream notions of conventional beauty made use of Groove Armada's "If Everybody Looked the Same", oblivious to the meaning of the song's refrain "If everybody looked the same, we'd get tired of looking at each other".
* ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]'' music montages occasionally fall into this trap; one of the worst was the choruses (''only'' the choruses) of [[David Bowie]]'s [http://www.teenagewildlife.com/Albums/YA/YA.html "Young Americans"] being used to underscore cute toddler clips.
* Again with [[David Bowie]] music being inappropriately used! [https://web.archive.org/web/20110125061311/http://unrealityshout.com/blogs/single-review-x-factor-finalists-2010-heroes This review] of ''[[The X Factor]]'''s 2010 Christmas charity single, a cover of ""Heroes"", goes into much detail about how a song that mocks the idea that [[War Is Glorious]] is a poor match-up to a charity supporting injured soldiers.
** ''[[The X Factor]]'' is guilty of this, too. "Heroes" has nothing to do with war in anyway, shape or form.
* ''[[Glee]]'' had Emma wanting to use [[Intercourse with You|"Afternoon Delight"]] to promote the Abstinence Club, under the mistaken belief that it was about having dessert in the middle of the day.
