Westboro vs. ComicCon Fans Update

I attended a Westboro counter-protest a few months ago, right before Skepticamp Atlanta, and I can tell you that the more people the WBC protest in front of, the more ridiculous they look. Every public protest is a fail, and I think that the crowning glory of their ridiculousness is their misguided trip to ComicCon in San Diego. ComicCon is legendary, I heard on the show PSYCH, and I think that it is only appropriate that the Phelps'(-es?) met a gaggle of people who were just as ridiculous as they are but vastly, vastly more clever. Unbelievable.

The Phelps(es's) are the biblical equivalent to fanboys dressing up like superheroes and cartoon characters, which is what makes this protest so...staggeringly asinine and appropriate. Fight stupid with even more cleverer stupid, that's my motto.

I really hope they come back to Atlanta for Dragon*Con.
