Actually, pretty much any image being used for the purposes of
commentary is a good example.  And that's the only reason I can think
of that fair use should ever be acceptable in a free encyclopedia
anyway.

Take any non-free image on Wikipedia.  Most likely it is either 1) not
acceptable on Wikipedia, or 2) would be better if it were released
under CC-BY-ND.
