It was subtle, which was the most impressive thing about it. All the other videos which used some form of acronym always then would spell it out; yours didn't, which shows an appreciation of the intelligence of your audience. Also a plus: You were bloody hilarious. @Muffy St. Bernard: Your video was absolutely brilliant. It was subtle, which was the most impressive thing about it.

The more ridiculous the KKK of the Christian extremist taliban become, the more people will see through that they are all fathered by that guy called Satan. And btw Madman Phelps gang showed up recently at Towson High school. And to greet them 400 kids showed up screaming at those freaks. And carrying sighs such as "Religion - training wheels for moral idiots". Only 1 or 2 people tried to join the Phelps, and the cops shied them away, afraid they were God's messenger, bringing a 38 caliber message to that gang. So in some ways, Phelps is an asset. And by the way, if you wonder who your enemies are, during my monthly debate with my "orthodox Catholic" friend, he said he thinks Phelps is financed by the gay folks because of the kinds of reactions he provokes. And whatever this guy Bill says you can bet came str8 from the mouth of the local Baltimore Bishop and his gang. But one thing needs to be done - we need to find a way to tap into military family groups, because they aren't very happy with this sick nazi celebrating at the funerals of our dead soldiers.
