This made my day.

Put one in the win column for fandom! Members of the Westboro Baptist Church—best known for picketing the funerals of American servicemen killed overseas—showed up at Comic-Con just as they said they would to protest the event because they wanted to send a message that we've all "turned comic book characters into idols." But Comic-Con rallied to send its OWN message.

Church members had intended to hold their protest for an hour, but in the face of 150 to 200 counter-protesting, costumed fans carrying signs that read everything from "Odin is God" to "God loves Gay Robin," they gave up early. By the time Blastr arrived, the handful of Comic-Con haters were already packing up and walking away with the police presence that outnumbered them, which you can see below at the 24-second mark.

Between this and the Lady Gaga concert they attempted to protest, I'm happy to see those troglodytes get the comeuppance they deserve.

There is actually a facebook page somewhere that organizes counter protests against these fuckbags.
I would kill for the chance to join in on one of these counter protests.
I even designed my sign for it!
