And a couple of brilliant things:

Super Heroes vs. the Westboro Baptist 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?) THIS MADE MY MORNING!

Guess Who? Identity and Fairy Tale in The Pandorica Opens/Big Bang by goldenmoonrose. I do not have the words to describe the brilliance of this. *flails*

You know, these days the WBC have not only gone so far, but they've *been* gone so far for so long, that nobody takes them at all seriously. Which is great, because everywhere they go there are counter-protests. And counter-protests, whether serious, surreal, or any mix thereof, have a tendency to be awesome. My personal favorite counter-protest sign: "I have a sign." Also, from this report, I loved their "what do we want?" chant. :-)

(Seriously, I would take a dozen Fred Phelps over one James Dobson-type any day. Same ultimate message and purpose, but couched in realistic Christianity, and it's suddenly incredibly influential.)

*nods* And I love 'I have a sign.' :D

Word. Andrew Sullivan brands people like that Christianists to separate them from actual Christians, and I wish that'd catch on more.
