* Revolution Muslim once posted a warning to ''[[South Park]]'' creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone over the two-part episode "200", which depicted Muhammad in a bear costume (It turned out to be actually Santa Claus in the second part). The site was hacked in retaliation, and visitors were redirected to a picture of Muhammad with a bomb on his head and of an older Muslim man kissing a young boy. This later turned into a full-blown [[Internet Backlash]] when [[Comedy Central]] censored the offending depiction, leading ultimately to "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day" on Facebook.
* Texas governor and presidential candidate Rick Perry once posted a [[YouTube]] video saying he would fight Barack Obama's supposed "war on religion", highlighted by him saying how awful it was that gay people could serve in the military but Christmas couldn't be celebrated in public schools. It became [[YouTube]]'s second most disliked video (behind only [[Justin Bieber]]'s "Baby" music video) - and numerous parodies were spawned as a result. Perry's poll numbers soon plummeted to the point where he suspended his campaign by the South Carolina primaries.
