In particular... any movie/show that has anything to do with the military. I'm re-watching Smallville again and on Season 2 Episode 11.
When Whitney returns to the school, he's wearing the rank of PFC (E-2) on his sleeves, but he has blood stripes on his pants (A very common mistake by fucktards who try to fake service for priority at airports and what not... you don't get those stripes until you're a Sargent (E-5)).
Later on, "LT McNulty" arrives at his mother's house to inform her that Whitney is confirmed dead. All well and good, except what would be LT insignia in the Navy is Captain in the Marines. It should have been Captain McNulty.
Why are these bonehead mistakes always made? Uniform regulations are public domain. 10 minutes of research to get a uniform correct, and another 10 to get the medals/ribbons correct.
Then there are other non-military examples such as Lucy. As I said, the first half was alright, but you had to ignore much of the story. It would have been much more entertaining if the story wasn't so retarded I didn't know how retarded it was..
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
