Via Jezebel, the story of a missed opportunity to be well rid of bad rubbish:
Upon hearing that [Westboro Baptist Church] WBC intended on protesting the funeral of Robin Williams (because of course they would) Australian comedian Adam Hills challenged the hate-group on his show The Last Leg. Via the Advocate:
“If you really believe in standing up to those threatening the Christian way of life, Westboro Baptist Church, how about putting your money where your mouth is, taking a direct flight to Iraq [to protest ISIS],” he said this week, also offering to pay for first-class airfare.
Naturally, many people offered to donate money to help ferry the WBC loons to their doom. In response, WBC tweeted the following:
We accepted! Whence tickets? @PhilCooke: An offer to fly WBC members 2 Iraq 2 protest. Sounds like good idea to me.
But then Hills demurred and donated the cash raised online to worthy causes instead. Fuckitty fuck. Sometimes being a non-sociopath is just no fun at all.
