Note: I don't mean to make an incendiary post, considering the original reason for this counterprotest. I just wanted to post silly signs. Also, I'd love for someone to explain to me the "Vote [Guy] for No 6" sign, please? San Francisco’s Answer to Westboro Baptist Church   Westboro Baptist Church showed up to protest in front of Twitter’s San Francisco office on Thursday, but found themselves severely outnumbered by a crowd of absurdist pranksters, including guest blogger EDW Lynch [The "I Have a Sign" guy] above. WBC’s hate-promoting signs were answered by multiple signs of randomness, nonsensical yelling, and even a unicorn. A portable stereo blared Lady GaGa, while press and people passing by ignored the WBC signs and took pictures and videos of the more entertaining signs. I was also there and turned on the video camera while holding my sign. Westboro had scheduled an appearance in front of the Golden Gate Theatre later that evening to protest Fiddler on the Roof. Fellow guest blogger, Burstein!, reports: Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your perspective, Fred Phelps and his followers cancelled their appearance before Fiddler on the Roof. Apparently, they were all hated out from their big day and just had no more hate to spare. Nevertheless, even in their absence a small crowd gathered and gave rise to an elegantly dadaist protest in which accordions, random signs of love and hate, and rick rolls abounded. While many of those attending Fiddler were bemused and confused, the staff and crew apparently loved this counter-protest and the director, stage manager, and choreographer all came out to thank these ridiculous protesters.

"GNU's Not Unix" is a pretty awesome thing to put on a protest sign, as that is simply the definition of GNU (it's a recursive acronym). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU --

Nah I don't think it's an incendiary post. Or rather I suppose I'll make it worse if it is because I can't stand these people. I've known about them for awhile and protesting at funerals for servicemen, cops, firefighters and whatnot who have given their lives for the people of this nation is about as low as you can get imo. Now I obviously don't agree with their viewpoints as they are rather extreme but I wouldn't care overly much about them if they didn't do that one thing. I know why they do it of course. It's to get attention. But it's still something I hate. --

LOL, love those pictures. This is yet another reason why I think our society is crazy for letting religion have the free pass it does.

It really isn't an issue of religion though I'm sure there are some that would argue that. The subject to me isn't as important as the abuse of freedom of speech. I find myself conflicted for saying that too as I'm a firm believer of people's rights. But you can take that to far regardless of what your taking it to far over. Protesting at funerals and forcing grieving family and friends to deal with that. That's a bit to much.

A bitch burger is when you have two pieces of bread and you bitch because you don't have any meat. No. Wait. That's not right. Sorry, man, I got nuthin'. --
