The Willie Horton ads and welfare queen myths (both of which also used emotional appeals) may have been examples of this fallacy in real life.

How did the Willie Horton ads use the perfect solution fallacy? The point of the ads and the use of the issue in general was that giving temporary unsupervised releases to inmates serving life without parole was a poor policy. Ellsworth 21:02, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
