Some people you simply shouldn't mess with.  Westboro Baptist Church decided to pick a fight with comic geeks by picketing the San Diego Comic-Con with their personal brand of hatred and embarrassing behavior for "worshiping false idols".   BIG MISTAKE.

Comic geeks picketing the WBC right back, outnumbering the WBC by at least 20 - 1.  They wore their cosplays getups and carried signs saying, "God Loves Gay Robin", "Odin is God", "Superman Loves Fags", "God Needs a Starship", as well as protest signs from several different comic book and sci/fi movie plotlines.  A monster held up a sign offering "Free Hugs", a pair of dominatrices offered "Free Spankings For Jesus", and Jesus himself gave the geeks his blessing.

 Moral:  DON'T MESS WITH GEEKS, FOR THEY WILL MESS WITH YOU RIGHT BACK AND THEY ARE BETTER AT IT THAN YOU.

They chose to take on the MOST CREATIVE PEOPLE ON THE PLANET on their HOME TURF.

The sheer amount of stupidity that led to that choice is staggering to contemplate.

Geeks, of course, are awesome, but meanwhile I'm still busy going "...say whaaaaa?" to the idea that anyone (even the Westboro Baptist wackos) apparently... dislike comic books because they promote the worship of false idols? How's that again?

I know I shouldn't expect logic from these people. I know that. I'm just -- it still confuses me! Do these people have more than two functioning brain cells? Do they have even a passing acquaintance with "logic" and "reason"?

They only way it even halfway makes sense to me is that they just found out about the Thor movie, having somehow missed the earlier Thor movie and the Thor comic titles going back to 1962.

It's people like those that make me feel like I should be ashamed to call myself a Christain. They make us all look like wackjobs. :(

(I love Jeasus, but I love comicbooks and gays too)

That was a real stupid move on the churches parts and I'm glad the Geeks struck back.

Great, though did the SDCCers have to use "fags"? Also, I would've used the verses about Pharisees and stuff more. :/

Ha. :D The only down side to this is that you know Phelps and his crew won't learn anything from it. They never seem to. Still, it's a nice message to shout at the world, and a great piece of counter-publicity.

They really do picket some odd places, though, don't they.

One of these days I'll finally attend the SDCC, but this particular day I'm jealous of them. We don't get the WBC at anime conventions damnit!

That counter protest, in cosplay, would be one of the funnest protests ever.

What, only four or five of Fred's followers turn up for Comic Con? And the child abusing patriarch is nowhere to be seen? Pathetic.

Fred doesn't have that many more followers. It's just the family and their lawyers, and at least two of his grown children have already jettisoned him.
