Phelps vs. Comic-Con - So proud of geek culture

So you might have heard that the Westboro Baptist Church decided to protest Comic-Con in San Diego because superheroes are false idols or something idiotic like that.

The nerds fought back with costumes and signs and raised money for comic related charities.

I love the "For when I walk through a dark valley, I fear no harm FOR THE DARK KNIGHT IS BY MY SIDE!"

There's also a sign in the big pic that just says "Hallo, my name is Inigo Montoya," etc.

I've seen that video before. I had to watch it again and giggle.

ETA: Not at the WBC, but at the guys.

The WBC makes me sick to my stomach.

This just made my day! I loathe the WBC. The best defense it to mock them and have a great time doing it. Yay!

As someone on Fark put it:

You realize that the opinion of Fred Phelps being considered a disgusting human being is probably the only thing that Jews, Catholics, Southern Baptists, Methodists, Atheists, feminists, vegans, veterans, punk rockers, bikers, rednecks, Katrina survivors, 9/11 victims families, earthquake relief workers, Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, soldiers, and professors can all agree on?

ROFLMAO I love it!!! (The counter-protest, that is. WBC can go take a long walk off a short pier.)

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-TOAD.

Geeks for the win! I bet the WBC is still trying to figure out just what happened to them.
