Subject: Westboro Baptist Church vs. The Foo Fighters
I am sure quite a few of you are not into The Foo Fighters music, but I am sure quite a few of you dislike the Westboro Baptist Church far more. So, here is something interesting that happened between them!
Edit: Video is a little NSFW. Just a heads up in case. You know, do not want to get people in trouble and such.
Unafraid to get political -- and goofy -- the Foo Fighters put the two together in a surprise counter-protest against a notorious anti-gay hate church on Friday.
Set to play a concert in Kansas City, Missouri that evening, the band put on a incredible show hours before the first tickets were even ripped. Led by lead singer Dave Grohl, the group showed up at the Westboro Baptist Church's picket against their performance at the city's Sprint Center, riding in the back of a rig truck and rocking out.
Playing their fun, faux-country trucker ode "Keep It Clean (Hot Buns)," the Fighters dressed in the same costumes that they wear in their nudity-filled spoof video for the song. And so as the hate spewed forth from the lips of the small, vitriolic group, their words were drowned out by amplified phrases, such, as "Driving all night, got a hankering for something/Think I'm in the mood for some hot-man muffins/Mmmm, sounds so fine, yes indeed."
During an interlude in the song, Grohl announced, "God Bless America! It takes all kinds; I don't care if you're black or white or purple or green, whether you're Pennsylvanian or Transylvanian, Lady gaga or Lady Antebellum. Men loving women and women loving men and men loving men and women loving women -- you all know we like to watch that. But what I'd like to say is, God Bless America, y'all!"
Here's the video of the event, which was reported by the city's NBC Action News. Click here to see the real video for the "Keep It Clean (Hut Buns)" tune.

I wouldn't be able to walk past them without grabbing one of their signs and running off with it; seriously, who needs that many signs? It wasn't God's intention to allow you to carry that many signs at one time, otherwise he'd have given you four arms; are you so ungrateful as to try and challenge his intentions for us by allowing yourself to do with two arms what should only be allowable with four? Those people sicken me in their vandalism of God's intentions.

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Apparently they do and there are at least 19 signs:
The Bible gives many examples of signs that should warn us of the coming end of the age. Six such signs are given by Jesus, two characteristics are given by Paul, and eleven other occurrences are given by the prophets to occur prior to or soon after the end of the age. While we are also told we will not know the time of the End, God obviously wanted us to know when that time was getting closer. As the Christian church is increasingly drawn into the interfaith movement, and as more and more churches go into isolation, preparing to sleep through the growing attacks on their faith, perhaps God knew it would take a few signs to wake us up and remind us that we have work to do.
Nah God is wrong in that case, pal Most people just need coffee and an alarm clock

Fixed.
Because coffee beans are the winnets of the Gods.

Excellent. Its ashame they can't set up outside the "church" and play a few bars (be sure to keep in line with all local sound ordnances and have video therein or they'll sue I'm sure).

We should have people picket the WBC with acceptance rallies just to show them that people care about them just as much as they hate others.
I honestly don't care how it's done. I would stand in front of them holding a sign that just said "You suck!" hell i'd get a sign saying "God hates flags" and stand next to them and see how long it takes...

Hmm...it's more like they hold up a sign that says "God hates fags" and then you hold up a sign that says "God forgives you for thinking He hate fags"
Nothing that really smacks of being hateful towards them, but to be nice, even if they think it is in a mocking way. Remember that in America, we also are accepting of people who hate other people.
I think its funny that on the adds to the right of the article my version showed an add for another article that would give you 10 signs that one's husband was a homosexual. Did not know that it could be boiled down to just 10 signs.

Lulz.
Foo fighters did always make me lol, even if I iddn't consider their music top-notch.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.
