On the internet, information is little more than a click away. Unfortunately, so is a sea of [[Cowboy Bebop

* In the 2009 edition of the calendar ''The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said'', one contributor attributes the phrase [[Your Head Asplode|YOUR HEAD A SPLODE]] to "the video game [[

* [http://www.net4tv.com/voice/Story.cfm?storyID=1517 Is Oasis lying to] [[Sluggy Freelance|Sluggy]]? As the article is attributed to the author, it ''has'' to be parody.
* Reportedly, one website describing ''[[
** A recent [http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011-10-16/local/30303666_1_costumes-dynamic-duo-proton-pack NY Daily News] article put the trolls as the main characters when describing Homestuck. While minor, long-time fans of the series will skip aprrox 6.12 beats after reading it.
** There was also a recent article in which the author interviewed a Homestuck cosplayer. When they said that they were cosplaying Eridan Ampora, the interviewer took that to mean that all of the trolls were named Eridan Ampora.
Line 25:
* 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.]]
* When a school shooting rekindled discussions in Germany about [[Murder Simulators|video games being responsible for real life violence]], the news broadcast Focus TV showed the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8SWMAQYQf0 infamous clip of the "Angry German Kid"], claiming that the footage was secretly recorded by Leopold's father while he got mad playing on his computer. (If you didn't know by now, the clip was staged and recorded by the 'kid himself for the lulz.)

** Plus, Doug and the Mikes are listed as co-founders and runners of Channel Awesome...but not even a mention of Bhargav?
*** It's The Entrepreneur Magazine's way of keeping the Indian man down! It's BULLSHIT!!!
Line 31:
* 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!], 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 [[
* Animated Views has so many of these it's not even funny. A few of the examples include an assumption that ''[[Rudolph the Red
* [[The Spoony Experiment|Spoony's]] ''Deadliest Character: [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Megazord]] VS [[Godzilla|Mechagodzilla]]'' video was chock full of innacurate discriptions and blatant [[Critical Research Failure]] including-
** 1.) Talking about the Showa (1974) Mechagodzilla while showing clips of ''Kiryu''. While Kiryu ''is'' an incarnation of Mechagodzilla, it is '''not''' the same monster (The original Mechagodzilla is a robot built by aliens to take over the world and Kiryu is a cyborg version of the original Godzilla).
