Stumbled across this this morning, thought I'd share

Get Shot!, a California punk band that bills itself as "the sleaziest punk band in the world" and "the first band ever to start a porn site," is particularly proud of its latest release: A porn "film" shot entirely on the front lawn of the Westboro Baptist Church.

Upping the blasphe-larious ante set for them by the satanists who held a graveside ceremony that turned Fred Phelps' dead mom gay, the members of Get Shot! took a detour while driving to a concert in Denver, stopping outside the Topeka headquarters of the WBC to film their bass player masturbating naked outside the house that hate built.

"The Phelps family and Westboro Baptist Church are ridiculous and do nothing except spread hate and cause controversy," Laura Lush said in a press release. "As a bisexual woman and the bass player of a ridiculous punk band, I wanted to spread my legs and cause controversy."

The entire clip was uploaded to the band's free porn site, where it allegedly caught the attention of a WBC clan member.

"Someone from your church's IP address spent 41 minutes looking at our website," the band tweeted earlier today. "That's longer than the video on your lawn!!!"

There has been no official response to the video from any of the Twitter accounts officially associated with the WBC, but the band promised to be back in a few months with "a group of girls and a whole camera crew."

I'm no Westboro fan, but this is not cool at all.

**KingCracker**

I have to agree. They are doing the same types of things to the WBC as the WBC does to others.

**MrDwhitey**

The worst part is giving the WBC any form of attention whatsoever.

**KalashnikovMarine**

Hhahaha. Winning.

This too. Its just showing the WBC that they matter to someone somehow

**Orlanth**

T- lawsuit.

The punk band might have no assets, but what about anyone with a contract with them. WBC gets much of its funding out of lawsuits, with an open shut case, as this one is all the punks have done is help fund WBC.

On the other hand no one heard of them before today, so its one way to get on the map.

Because the way to 'beat' stupid, immature people is to be even stupider and more immature.

**cincydooley**

I think it's a fantastic feth you to that horrible, horrible organization.

Trying out slogans for OT?

The internet as a whole, really.

Yeah... kinda in agreement here. Lots of houses right there in clear view of that. Kids and all that... no thought at all put into this.

**Da Boss**

Kids aren't going to be scarred for life by something like this though, let's be honest.

Yet the band has managed to break more laws during this single act than the WBC violates during their protests.

It's stupid, it's illegal, they didn't have the balls to do it after making sure they are watching.

The girl selling lemonade in front of the building? Smart and clever and legal.
Painting the house in front of them in rainbow colors? Smart and clever and legal.
Having a "convert mom to gay" satanic ceremony? Juvenile and borderline stupid, but legal.

Going "hahahahahahah I'm going to jack off in public and make it a video" it stupid, illegal, and it doesn't even do anything against the WBC except give them free publicity. And not even free publicity because of anything good, but free publicity because a band is not using this video not to teach the WBC a lesson but it is simply a publicity stunt for the band itself. They are more concerned about getting publicity themselves than doing anything against the WBC IMO.

**fishy bob**

This accomplishes nothing, except for the band to make the news. Incredibly stupid.

**timetowaste85**

Juvenile and illegal though it is, I have to laugh at anyone and everyone who trolls the WBC. If there was ever an organization that deserves all the hate that the world can muster, it's the WBC. Don't do it again, punk band, but the world appreciates your effort.

Well said.

**Corpsesarefun**

I'd also like to point out that the video isn't even any good.

**timetowaste85**

I don't know, it looked like she knows what she's doing down there.

**Soladrin**

Everyone complaining about it being stupid, you should've stopped reading when the words punk band showed up.

There's been some real creative and clever stuff to come from the punk scenes like Ramones, Sex Pistols, The clash, Television, Wire, The Replacements, Minutemen, Husker Du, Patti Smith,Talking Heads, Joy Division, Public Image Limited, Iggy Pop, Gang of Four, etc mind you like with

most things in music there's only a few innovators but many imitators.

**TheSGC**

Mildly amusing, but ultimately, the best way to combat the likes of the WBC is to forget them.

**AlexHolker**

Eh. The lighting wasn't very good, and the cameraman wouldn't stand still.

Seriously guys, have some pride in your work!

**master of ordinance**
