Misleading SM Advertising/Songs/Etc.

It's no secret that the Sailor Moon dub is largely a result of the effects of marijuana use. But I've come to notice that the advertisements for the dub are also highly disjointed, the most obvious example of this being the totally-wrong lyrics of the opening theme. In this thread, point out and discuss these stupid and/or weird mistakes.

I'll start us off with the R movie promos on Cartoon Network. Tom says, "Now, Serena will feel the sting of betrayal, and her best friends become her worst enemies." Um, what? What movie are they talking about here? @_@ Nothing even remotely similar to that happens in this movie, or any of the movies. It's like they just randomly... wrote a plot... I can't think of any explanation.

When I use to watch the dub a lot I never really thought about the lyrics being misleading but when I got into the original Japanese SM episodes I realized how misleading the lyrics are.

Good observation Jeff about the Sailor Moon R movie promo. You're right, it doesn't seem to make sense at all. In the movie the Sailor Senshi doesn't become Sailor Moon's worst enemy. I think that's Fiore that is the enemy. Maybe they didn't watch the movie, lol!

Yeah that is weird. The only one to get betrayed was Mamoru/Darien, by Fiore. I wonder what show/movie they were thinking of? Maybe Tom writing a fan fic and got confused?

Then again it would have been cool (maybe even better) if the movie did involve the Senshi turining agaisnt Usagi/Serena.

Maybe they thought Fiore was Alan and Ann and since Piore is the bad guy they thought he was turning against Serena...

But then again maybe not. I second the "Tom's Fanfic" idea.
