Today, the British Home Office banned members of the Westboro Baptist Church from entering the UK after WBC Power Duo Shirley and Freddy announced they were going to travel there to picket a play being put on a by a gay youth group this Friday. Now, I don’t know about you, but if I was a member of a gay youth theatre group (Cabaret every Wednesday night!), I would be honoured if a pair as awesome as the Phelps’ were to show up outside to warn me about my impending doom! According to Shirls, not allowing the WBC to enter the UK will “bring great wrath upon your heads.”
Though my initial thought when I heard about the play was “it has to be Equus,” it turns out that it is in fact The Laramie Project by Moisés Kaufman. Too bad it isn’t though; this is why I keep Radcliffe on call at all times for just this sort of emergency.
Also, The Sun gets the award for hypocritical failure when they call the Phelps’ “sickos”, but then get all uppity when Fred and Shirls start bringing down the judgment of God down on their hack asses. They also get an award for just generally being a really shitty paper.
