Just when you think that yeasty, sewer-fucking, bilge-mouthed fucktard couldn’t possibly have found more shit to fling:
Yeah, I know. It’s just the sort of thing one should expect from him and his minions, but it is still in such mind-fuckingly poor taste that I just can’t bring myself to even try and comprehend how even he could curl off one as big and gut-flippingly reeking as this one.
Just when you think that every angle on the VTech shootings have sprouted its own Pit thread, a new one crops up. Let’s start a pool: in how many hours will ALL the threads on the front page of the Pit be ragged fragments of one actual thread? I say by noon tomorrow. Takers?
Is anyone suprised? Phelps has protested at the funerals of soldiers killed in action, police officers killed in the line of duty, and Amish schoolgirls killed by a lunatic. There’s nothing he won’t do to get attention through shock value. Understandable – otherwise, who would pay him any attention at all?
Wow, Phelps is being a dick, is anyone really shocked or surprised? I have a hard time figuring out why the WBC is still relevant. I admit, I’d be plenty pissed if he protested a funeral I was attending, but does Phelps really warrant all this attention?
Before you start a thread like this, repeat this after me:
“Expressing anger about Fred Phelps’ actions makes him happy.”
Ask yourself whether you actually want your actions to make him happy, and when you’ve provided yourself with the obvious answer, act accordingly, huh?
Seriously. We need to refuse to grant him the media attention he craves to get his message out. Without that, he’s simply a lone voice ranting in the wilderness. I grant you it’s a very distasteful prospect to allow him to spew his hate unchallenged, but what we’ve been doing hasn’t worked very well.
The slasher flicks of the self indulgent modern era are an abomination! How many cats jumping out of kitchen cabinets does it take before you realize the truth of your movies? Frankenstein would have mopped the floor with Freddy, Jason and that little girl from The Ring. (well, Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein; Robert Deniro’s could have gotten its ass kicked by Pippy Longstocking - but that’s neither here nor there. Amazing though, how did such talent and such a good story turn into such a bad movie? Is Kenneth Branaugh that bad a judge of screen plays? Can he only do Shakespeare? I mean really, what the… oh wait, where was I? Oh yeah…)
You have lost your way!
Mankind has forfeited the right to be truly scared in favor of predictable plot twists, cheap gotcha moments and gore! God sent you the Holy Cannon of Hitchcock to teach you suspense, and how do you repay Him? M. Night Shamalan! He is a false idol! My Sixth Sense tells me that Hollywood are sinners! It has been judged: Lady in the Water sucked the left testicle of Beelzebub himself!
Now, The Exorcist; that was one kick ass horror flick
Yep - no offense to the OP, but every time Fred does this shit people haplessly give him exactly what he wants by posting it all over the internet. I long for the day that he’ll get the obscurity he so fears and deserves, but I don’t think it’ll ever happen.
Death on Phelps. Great green gobs of greasy, grimy death on Phelps. Death wish Tibetan prayer wheels, spinning at 10,000 ppm (prayers per minute), urging immediate reincarnation as an assistant maggot.
