Comic-Con’s Real Life Superheroes Enter Battle of Irony With Westboro Baptist
By · 13 comments
This is a video of Comic-Con fans in San Diego taking on Fred Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church yesterday. If you have a hard time telling who donned the villain costumes, that’s because you don’t have enough geek in your life.
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
How great is that??? The inbred scumbags have like five of those savage scumbags who slithered out from under their rocks to hold their pathetic signs. And the nerds have like a hundred countering showing how rediclious their vile little signs are………..Priceless!
*Sigh* Hope y’all know this is exactly what the Westboro weirdos want. They’re bigger attention-whores than Paris Hilton & Lindsay Lohan combined. This is all about how much media and blog interest they can raise…look up Megan Phelps’ attempts to piggy-back on Lady Gaga which is all over youtube and tell me these fucks are serious about religion. They’re only serious about celebrity.
I love it! Regardless of who you are, you get picked on long enough, you get tired of the shit and a solidarity forms whether you understand why or not. lol

My favorite sign was “The Cylons Destroyed the 12 Colonies for Our Sings.” That’s just fantastic.

Oops, I meant “sins.”
