Westboro Baptists Vs Comic-Con!

[Turtletrekker]

Comic Alliance has pics and vids of the Counter Protest

They've faced down humans time and time again, but Fred Phelps and his minions from the Westboro Baptist Church were not ready for the cosplay action that awaited them today at Comic-Con. After all, who can win against a counter protest that includes robots, magical anime girls, Trekkies, Jedi and...kittens?

Unbeknownst to the dastardly fanatics of the Westboro Baptist Church, the good folks of San Diego's Comic-Con were prepared for their arrival with their own special brand of superhuman counter protesting chanting "WHAT DO WE WANT" "GAY SEX" "WHEN DO WE WANT IT" "NOW!" while brandishing ironic (and some sincere) signs. Simply stated: The eclectic assembly of nerdom's finest stood and delivered.

Pretty funny, if only for the Jesus cosplayer.

Awesome!

I like the Hypno-Toad/Darkseid guy (front and back of the same piece of beat-up cardboard)? Dressed as Neo or is that Chuck Bartowski?

Other than being attention whores, is this Westboro church promoting anything besides themselves? Do they sell a soft drink or jam or something like that? Are they a franchise of churches? It actually seems more self-defeating than self-promoting.

No, two pieces of cardboard. You can see the top of the Hypno-Toad one behind the Darkseid one in those photos.

Hate.

I love those two signs that said "IS THIS THING ON?" and "MAGNETS: HOW THE %)(#*^ DO THEY WORK?"
