The Westboro Baptist Church is making (sad) headlines today. A radio station got Megan Phelps on the phone to justify the hypocrisy of using an iPhone.
I guess this means they're going to hell, too. Idiots.
The Foo Fighters showed up to counter-protest the crazies in their own special way.

Watch the KKK protest the WBC at the Arlington National Cemetery yesterday. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel about this?
Comedian Lisa Lampanelli is donating $44K - one thousand for every Westboro Baptist Church member picketing her show - to The Gay Men's Heath Crisis. Not only that but $6K extra will be added to round up to $50K to be donated in the WBC's name. Nice to see that folks are figuring out ways to turn their hate around on them. (Via The Uniblog)
Culture Buzz The Westboro Baptist Church's plans were ruined by the town of Brandon, Mississippi when they showed up to protest Sgt. Jason Rogers funeral. Next time they should skip the whole beating thing and just slash their tires. Works like a charm.
Culture Buzz Earlier this month, British documentarian Louis Theroux publicized the results of his second trip to the Westboro Baptist Church to see how the Phelps family and their fellow cult members have changed over the past few years.

Culture Buzz In an effort to post more positive non-dinosaur related posts, I fired off a few e-mails to the Westboro Baptist Church to try to find out if there is anything they do actually like. Quelle surprise! There is. Here are the replies I received.
Culture Buzz Anonymous is threatening to declare war on the Westboro Baptist Church. If the WBC doesn't cease protesting, which you know they won't, Anonymous says they will retaliate.
The WBC protested Kevin Smith's new movie at Sundance last night. So, Kevin Smith protested right back at 'em.
Shortly after protesting the funeral of Army Sgt.

My friend Faith Hinkley was killed by a rocket attack in Iraq this month. It was her last month in Iraq. The Westboro Baptist Church is goin to protest her funeral. If any Redditors could go counter protest and help out Faith's family, all her friends and everyone at her unit would appreciate it.
