Andy Grote comes to mind. Someone tweeted "Du bist so 1 Pimmel" (something like "you are such a willy") at him. Got his house searched and everything for that.

Issue here being the fact that insulting someone is a criminial offense (hope that's the correct english terminology) in Germany.

e:/ Whether this is actual satire or not is up for debate i guess, but this was in my opinion way overblown

Sure, it's something like that, but it's more like "thou beest such a willy". ;D
