For many years I used this clip from Monsters vs Aliens to illustrate the importance of user experience design. I never imagined how close to believable the events in this clip would become.

Description: The president of the United States almost pushes a big red button that launches all nuclear weapons. Stopped by his staff, they explain that to get the latte he wants he needs to push the other big red button to the right that looks exactly like the first one.
