I went to the Wiki page about the original song to find the ‘fags’ involved with its production to highlight the hypocrisy of their actions, if any were needed, and… I can’t find a single artist connected with it who is ‘out’. There is one alleged pedophile who shall remain nameless, but apart from that, is everyone who sang on it/wrote it straight?! Seems an unusal demographic if so.

I don’t understand where “you’ll eat your kids (yeah, you’ll eat 'em)” comes from. I have never heard that one before.

Oh, yum! Marinated in a nice cabernet sauce (not merlot – thanks, Kalhoun), oven roasted, and served on a bed of baby spinach with a side of baby carrots.

George Michael is openly gay. But aside from that, you’re correct. I’ve never heard the sexuality of anyone else on that list even questioned (aside from the nameless alleged pedophile you’ve already mentioned–but not named).

Openly gay, but not on ‘We are the World’.
Band Aid in the UK had plenty of openly gay people, including George Michael, and also Boy George, Marilyn, and Holly Johnson, but the American one doesn’t seem to have any.

You forgot the baby corn

That song should be getting kudos from every Christian group on the planet. How did they get that many entertainers together and not get any gay people, but only the nameless suspected pedolphile?
This truly was a miracle–Is Quincy Jones God?

He’s listed as a vocalist on the Wiki page to which you linked for “We Are the World.”

Oh, I wouldn’t put any money on that.
This has to be the most thorough and complete self-parody I’ve ever seen in my life… I almost grudgingly respect it. There’s nothing left to satirize. Matt Stone and Trey Parker can only scratch their heads— these loons have immunized themselves against ridicule by being more ridiculous than anyone else can make them.

Since no retort to that video would come close to addressing how bat-shit crazy they are (and rather than starting a new pit thread) I’ll just throw in that this is one of my pet peeves about religious types - ripping off others to promote themselves. Reminds me of the red tshirts that said “Jesus” in CocaCola® letters.
Come on, assholes, at least be original. Fuck.

If only to improve the average quality of singing in the world.
Geez.
That woman in the light-blue pullover, right in front, really creeps me out. She’s just so happy. Watch her face at 1:39, when the other creepily happy woman leans in for her big solo. She’s jubilant, thinking of people burning in hell.
Now, that’s sick. Even the most conservative evangelical Christian doctrine that has people burning for all eternity in a lake of fire, also emphasizes that believers are to feel pity and sorrow for them–and shame at having failed to get them “saved”–rather than glee at their eternal punishment. If you ever needed any proof that Fred Phelps and his gang are not representative of Christianity, but rather just another group of psychopathic haters, that would be it, right there.
While watching this, I had a sudden mental image of these women standing and watching happily while one of their neighbors burned at the stake as a witch.
Ick.

Sadly, Jesus’s copyright on the ichthys logo expired a long time ago. Merchandising was really in its infancy back then, but you can rest assured that any modern-day messiah will have the rights sewn up in an iron-clad contract.

I think my heart skipped a beat or three when I read this.
Yes dear, you may.
I notice I’ve been on a sort of mission about this group lately.
If the entire world is full of sinners, and it’s too late to pray, and God hates everybody except the Westboro Baptist Church, why would they would bother putting out videos like this or picketing funerals, or doing much of anything except holing up in their compound and waiting for Jesus to come and smite the wicked?
Because it isn’t about the world, it isn’t about Jesus. It’s about control over the cult itself. Everyone hates these people because of this sort of crap, right? So ask yourself this, why do the cult leaders want everyone to hate the cult? Because if everyone hates the cult then the leader’s control over the cult is complete. This isn’t a typical cult that tries to recruit aimless and malleable young people, and so needs to present a smiling face to lure in the suckers. This cult’s recruits are born into the cult. They cannot socialize with other people, even members of other fundamentalist churches, because of their anti-American antics.
In fact, the new anti-American antics are specifically designed to keep the cult isolated from other right-wing whacko fundamentalist churches, who might love the cult’s anti-gay stuff, but hate their anti-America stuff. If cult members could be friends with other right-wing whacko fundamentalists, they might slip away from cult control.
So people who get angry and wish that everyone at Westboro Baptist would die, just realize that you’re reacting exactly the way Fred Phelps hopes you’ll act, he WANTS you to hate the members of his church because that’s how he controls them. And most church members are kids who have been raised in this church since birth and have known nothing but hatred and isolation from the outside world, and that’s the way Phelps likes it.
I think I spotted Der Trihs in that video! Fifty Fonzie points to whoever spots him second
