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.







HUGE pic here

And some Youtube: 1
At a separate event, the men of Alpha Delta Phi mock/distract from the protesters (look it's greek related!)

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.
