I would place this more in the category of the Russian comedians who 'punked' John McCain, Maxine Waters and others with calls from the Kremlin.
This stuff is so over the top, I can see the comedic value in it, though there is an element of maliciousness.
What this suggests to me, though, is that "collateral" could take the form of the knowledge that one has been embarrassingly duped. Nobody likes others knowing about that.
In reading numerous accounts of how people found themselves inducted into Landmark, there is this element there -- they don't want to believe they are being duped, so they do their own mental back flips to rationalize the experience.
I think we could call this kind of shame, "collateral".
