A de-eggcorn?

Does anyone realize how scarce "de-eggcorns" really are?

  They require someone to notice them and then to correct them, with the elided second step being to give a $#!+.

  Rare!

Since Sunday, a local channel has been advertising a straight-to-cable
movie entitled "M_o_mento." Today, I see that the title has been
changed to "M_e_mento."
