Agreed. I would go with ... the story of a small-time cult leader blown all out of proportion.
There's an interesting
book written by the psychologist Leon Festinger on a UFO cult that believes the end of the world is at hand. He infiltrated the cult. When the end doesn't come at the expected time instead of dropping the belief the group proceeds to try and convince other people of "the truth".
"Newspapers are called; interviews are sought. In a reversal of its previous distaste for publicity, the group begins an urgent campaign to spread its message to as broad an audience as possible."
