God Loves Gay Robin: Comic Fans Trounce Westboro Baptist Church

[crabby_lioness]

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.
