Parodies of satire are sometimes mistaken for truth.

I mentioned it before, it's a specific conceptual theory.

http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Poe%27s_Law

"Poe's Law points out that it is hard to tell parodies of fundamentalism (or, more generally, any crackpot theory) from the real thing, since they both seem equally insane. Conversely, real fundamentalism can easily be mistaken for a parody of fundamentalism. For example, some conservatives consider noted homophobe Fred Phelps to be so over-the-top that they argue he's a "deep cover liberal" trying to discredit more mainstream homophobes."
