The Westboro Baptist Church graced Comic-Con 2010 with its presence on Thursday, apparently after determining that a communal pop culture celebration was as appropriate a time as any to bust out their “FAGS DOOM NATIONS” signs:
Fortunately, nerds responded en masse, staging a counter-protest against the protest by forming a much larger group and raising their own nerdier, far more amusing protests signs, including “God Loves Gay Robin,” “God Needs A Starship,” and “God Hates Sentries”:
Haven’t dusted off the ol’ “PWND” in a while, but really, has it ever been this applicable?
After the jump, a couple of my favorite individual protest signs from the afternoon:
“Odin Is God – Read The Mighty Thor #5″
Close-Up of “God Hates Sentries” (Funny ’cause it’s true)
And no protest would be complete without a good ol’ ICP reference:
Eventually, the counter-protest held up traffic so extremely, both sets of protesters were asked to leave. I guess people were stopping in the street to take multiple photos of the protest signs to post on their blogs. Who’d do that? Buncha NEEEEERDS.
Cough.
