What a shock
Jan. 12th, 2011 01:30 pmThe Westboro Baptist Church has decided not to picket the dead child's funeral in Arizona.
Not because they realized that it was a real shit thing to do.
Not because there was the very real possibility that they would get pounded like cheap veal.
Because they 'traded' that picket for air time on a couple of radio stations. This seems to be a pattern... publicly announce that they are picketing some high profile funeral, but decide not to do it if they can manage to get some air time on a radio station.
