Urban legends can be seriously damaging to individuals and corporations. During the 1980s, [[Proctor and Gamble]] suffered poor publicity, due to an unfounded rumor that they were owned by the Church of Satan. Political figures are often targeted. A list of 'moron' quotes from Mad Magazine are now being forwarded via e-mail as actual [[George W. Bush]] quotes. Photos of [[George W. Bush]] and [[Bill Clinton]] looking through binoculars with the lens-cap still on<ref>http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/binoculars.asp</ref> is also widely distributed, though the picture was clearly doctored.(see [[Snopes]])
