Yet another reason to love Nerds

Sign in to disble this ad
I love Nerds. I am a Nerd. I'm married to a Nerd and have two aspiring young Nerdlings. I don't need anymore reasons to love Nerds, but here's one anyhow: http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/0...aptist-church/

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.

Funny--there were more internet memes than superheroes. Good job either way, though.

They protested outside of a school in my area, and kids waged a counter protest. It was a good day.

Best possible resolution IMHO

Had Phelps & Co decided to try their crap at, say, a dead soldier's funeral (their previous M.O.) you would've had the Veterans and the Bikers taking turns on 'em

This way, nobody got hurt, and the Phelps Family had nobody to sue - their sole means of support, apparently
