our bestest friends in the whole wide world, the Westboro Baptist Church, will be showing up to my neighborhood in few weeks. i'm looking for clever sign ideas. they can be on topic or off topic, either way is fine with me (admittingly i'm just going to play Pokemon the entire time, but it would be sweet to have an awesome sign). i'm also willing to protest next to WBC if the idea is sneaky enough.
What ever you do....DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THEM. They fund their protests from harassment lawsuits and they thrive off publicity, so the sooner you forget about them, the sooner the rest of the world will as well.

Just the fact that you made a thread about them has brought more publicity and I would recommend that you PM a mod to lock this before you bring any more to them.

I would suggest the one Kevin Smith used against them at a protest as it's particularly salient considering that we're gamers here and tomorrow IS release day:

"Thor hates straights!"

calm down, champ. i don't plan on raising any sort of ruckus. again, i'm not arguing that ignoring them is the best route. lord knows i don't want to get up before twelve, and heck, if i can convince the townies to avert their gazes, then awesome. i can sleep in that day. but i feel there are two chances of that - slim and none.

to me, the consequences of my comrades feeling alone and deserted far out weight the slim risk of a lawsuit. much like Shen, Eye of the Twilight, my special is to Stand United.

but thanks for the heads up on the lawsuit thing. i'll do some research and make sure everyone knows about it.

I agree that they thrive off attention. Can you imagine them standing there and no-one pays attention to them or thinks it's a big deal? That would be great. But counter-protesting is so tempting...

- "Don't sue the WBC, their primary income comes from winning lawsuits".

- "God hates pork chops", "God hates mixed fabrics" or something else from Leviticus.

- Dictionary definition of love ("agape love") accompanied by "Love thy neighbour"

- "God made homosexuals". God created the genetic makeup and life experiences that cause people to be homosexual.

Play some music with a message. They HAVE to listen. None of this rickrolling, it's gotten old, really. When making any claims about God, support it with scriptural evidence clearly referenced on the sign.

I think a silent protest would be more effective. No laughing or gloating over how stupid they are. Just stand there silently with relevant signs and some music playing. Awkward, yes, but people are more likely to listen to those who come across as having serious grievances. I wonder how they'd react if you photoshopped some pictures of their family members to look mutilated and killed, next to those of dead soldiers and gay kids who have committed suicide and wrote something like "have some empathy, imagine it happening to your loved ones".

"WBC is filled with lying deceiving bastards who only are in it for the money (Not intended to be a factual statement, unless it turns out that it is true)

Dress up as god and have a sign that sayd no i dont
He's got somethin' here.

Definitely dress up as Jesus and hold up a sign saying "I don't know these people"

Or "I just came for the free booze"

They aren't to clever, you just need to spiff them up.

As long as there is no physical contact along the sorts he can do whatever he wants.
