The other night, Davis Guggenheim (director of "An Inconvenient Truth") was on The Colbert Report to discuss his film on America's failing education system, "Waiting for Superman". The interview started with a brief clip of the film, half of which is synced up to Green Day's, what else, "American Idiot". I can only assume that the portion using the song is longer in the actual film.

The interview is below. The actual clip is from the beginning to approximately 58 seconds, but the interview itself is really good and worth watching.

I really hope they at least used it an a context that makes sense. So many people misinterpret that song, thus, misuse it.

For sure... did you see the thread about AI playing the background of a Glenn Beck radio ad? That completely disgusted me...
