Line 20:
** An article on Japanese versions of Western characters claimed that Luke chopped Vader's head off. Which he did. In the cave on Dagobah where, if you recall the scene from the movie, he chopped Vader's head off. It also claimed that ''[[Hellsing]]'' using the name Alucard was a clumsy way to avoid copyright issues over using Dracula, despite the fact that 1. Dracula is in the public domain and 2. in ''Hellsing'' Alucard is Dracula, which is explicitly confirmed when he reveals his true form and how he came to serve the Hellsing organization.
* The Agony Booth's recap of ''[[High School Musical]]'' made an error [http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/High_School_Musical_2006.aspx?Page=3 by saying that] Ashley Tisdale basically played an identical [[Alpha Bitch]] character on that "awful sitcom ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]''". If you're not familiar enough with the show to know that Ashley Tisdale plays the [[Foil|exact opposite character type]] on that show, you obviously haven't even seen a commercial for it, and [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch|probably shouldn't be making judgments about it.]]
* X-Entertainment liked to play on this trope when it still published articles, particularly for franchises that the author isn't interested in. Example: [http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0747/ Behold!]{{Dead link}}, an article on the Strawberry Shortcake cereal getting the names of Apricot and Hopsalot Bunny wrong, even though the correct names were mentioned in the commercial that's available for download from the same page!
* An image for the "[[Bleach]] Has No Backgrounds!" [[Memetic Mutation|meme]] had a shot of ''Bleach'' compared to a shot from ''[[Naruto]]'' and ''[[One Piece]]'' respectively. While this isn't a problem if you want to make a point, the problem is that the pictures from the other two were of cities, while the picture from Bleach was of...Hueco Mundo, a statedly empty and barren desert.
** Arguably, the real issue is that Naruto had a visibly bigger animation budget (possibly because the original manga's art style was inspired by [[Akira]] and they wanted to do it justice), and One Piece's art style (being more cartoony) works better with a smaller budget than Bleach's does.
