** Except that {{spoiler|Rev. Steve Newlin, the leader of said cult, is now a vampire - the very creature he campaigns against.}}

* Virgilia in the ''North And South'' miniseries is a particularly scary example. At first, she was merely ruining family dinners and such, but she eventually goes off the deep end and even calls down a [[Torches and Pitchforks|lynch mob]] on [[Moral Event Horizon|her own home]]. The saddest part is that her family actually agreed all along with the core of her political agenda, what they can't stand is her extreme [[Black and White Morality]].

* In ''[[Parks and Recreation]]'', there is the minor recurring character, Marcia Langman, the spokeswoman for the Society for Family Stability Foundation. In "Pawnee Zoo", she tries to get Leslie to annul a gay penguin wedding since "when gays marry, it ruins marriage for the rest of us." Later in "Time Capsule", she denounces the Twilight books as "There are girls quivering. There are boys staring deeply into girls' eyes as they quiver and so forth. There really is a tremendous amount of quivering. It is anti-Christian. It is pro-quivering."

** What makes that second example even funnier was that another group also denounced the Twilight books for the ''opposite'' reason: they found the books ''too'' Christian (presumably because they were written by a Brigham Young University graduate).
