    It was very hot, but we were only out there for an hour, so I sucked it up.

    Oh, I also got talking to another local, who was maybe a bit older than most of us (late-20s, early 30s). He at first seemed typically religious and uneducated, and asked one of the police officers if they knew how much the WBC protesters were costing taxpayers in security and if he could sue them for it. I explained that couldn't happen, and allowing such suits would infringe on free speech... and he actually agreed and changed his mind! He agreed that it is certainly a lesser evil to allow such mindless bigots to speak out than to allow the government to inhibit their speech in any way. I was mildly impressed.

    EDIT: Psy, there were a couple of younger brainwashed girls there, but they were turned off by the Fraggle hate. They clearly don't read the Bible very closely!

    They actually toured to my HIGH SCHOOL the year after I graduated. I was so upset that kind of drama didn't go down while I was there. I never was sure why they went to all the high schools in my district, it seemed random. Their website said something about being compliant and not standing up for true morality if I remember correctly.

    I wish WBC would come here. Right down into the fabulous Short North. It would be absolutely mesmerizing.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I am going to protest the WBC on Ohio State's campus tomorrow. Waking up at 6 to draw out my sign.

    Definitely going to make a cloud connected by Rainbows and draw a crucified stick figure with a caption that says

    "If you hang out with 12 dudes and have abs, you might be gay... or Jesus."

    I also did the God Hates Figs sign with a passage from the Book of Spartacus. I was interviewed by the local ABC 6 news here in Columbus and apparently it wound up on TV.

    EDIT FOR PICTURES!

    I see that Boba!

    So apparently these people are coming here for some or another. Protesting at our schools and churches . I'm thinking about going. Freya was telling me that another God Hates Fraggles sign would be pretty funny.

    DO IT. The Fraggle hatred must be spread! You can also include this bit of Scripture: "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." - Psalm 137:9. Obviously referring to Fraggles.

    xD Well now I can't not do it. DP's picture has inspired me to also wear my Boba helmet to this shindig.

    so that's what you were quoting! I was seriously led to believe the word fraggle was in the bible (and didn't bother to check). So when reporters asked you 'wtf?' you started quoting infanticide and parenting advice from the bible?

    I never actually watched it. The "hate" is kind of an inside joke. A friend of mine started a website "God Hates Fraggles" (no longer used, sadly) in reference to the WBC's catch phrase "God Hates Fags."
