San Diego Comic-Con, I Love You So Much
While I'm not able to go to the con this year myself, I had to point out this story once I saw it. The reverend Fred Phelps, the "God Hates F**S" preacher, set out to protest in front of Comic-Con 2010 because it was 'idolatry'.
He was met by the most amazing counter protest I've ever seen. A crowd of cosplaying comic fans mocked him with cries of "WHAT DO WE WANT", "GAY SEX", "WHEN DO WE WANT IT", "NOW!"
To everyone who participated in the counter protest, know this: You are awesome.

Hilarious, and it doesn't hurt a thing that the "God Hates Jedi" guy is just as cute as a button.
Also, "DARKSEID IS" makes for a pretty brilliant counter-protest sign.
I could have woken my neighbors up with all the laughing I was doing. Bravo.
