So Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist clan announced they were going to protest Comic Con.
Clue 1: Don't announce ahead of time who, when and where you intend to protest.
Clue 2: Especially if you're a widely despised hate group, and your target is comprised largely of young, intelligent, disrespectful and counter-motivated people.
Clue 3: Unless, of course, you enjoy being made even more of a laughing stock than you already are.
This is a small selection from Comics Alliance's piece, "
Superheroes Vs. The Westboro Baptist Church," the best collection I've seen, but these hilarious protestbombing photos are all over the innertubz today.
Never tell people who wear costumes in public that you plan to punk them. They are better at it than you.
ReplyDeleteI love "how do magnets work." Classic.
I never did watch that viral video, but I'm familiar with it, and I love that guy's posture and expression. I'm also very fond of the "Is this thing on?" sign.
