The National Rifle Association (NRA) in the US used a tweet featuring Leslie Knope, from Parks & Recreation - and Amy Poehler, who plays the character, wants nothing to do with it.
"Thank you for being the voice of over 5 Million #NRA members," the controversial organisation tweeted, thanking pro-gunadvocate Dana Loesch.
The tweet was not well received by any Parks & Recreation fans and the show's cast was not pleased either.
"Hi, please take this down. I would prefer you not use a GIF from a show I worked on to promote your pro-slaughter agenda," the show's co-creator, Michael Schur, tweeted in response.
"Our good-hearted show and especially our Leslie Knope represent the opposite of your pro-slaughter agenda - take it down and also please eat s**t," he wrote.
