God Hates Fanboys
While we celebrate our Ninth Annual Avoidance of Comic-Con Even Though We’re a Quick Trolley Ride Away, we thought we’d answer a frequently asked question in the Stinque Mailbag: Why?
Because we saw the Batmobile at the Lane County Fairgrounds in 1969, and nothing in life will top that.
Or maybe it was the depressing discovery that the Batmobile doesn’t blow fire out its ass that turned us toward a life of Existentialism.
Either way, we’re happy that the Westboro Baptist Clown Troupe chose to attend in our stead, providing a splendid opportunity for fine interactive street entertainment among the nerd hordes.

The WB Inbred Church can kiss my shiny metal ass.
Why was Westboro protesting ComiCon?
The story didn’t say, and I’m too lazy to search out the answer with the google.
Hilarious. Is This Thing On? I also like God Loves Gay Robin, not shown here. This is sort of the perfect counter-protest. The Geeks might have shown us the way to make all your base are belong to us. They found the perfect level for this particular debate exposing WBC for the bad comic book that it is and defusing the situation of the indignation that, while understandable, tends to make us look angry and shrill. Way to go, Nerds! Noje, you must be very proud of your people.
ADD. I’m counting the minutes till my iPod gets here. How kewl am I?
It’s ok to wear The Flag as clothing if you’re a right winger, evangelical Christian, or country singer.
/ off to my two day wilderness first aid class. Laters.
@redmanlaw:
Or wear it as an upside down diaper.
Enjoy.
I hope St. Peter wears the new Wonder Woman costume when he turns the Westboro folks away from the Pearly Gates.
PZ Meyers got in on the fun, too…

@Benedick: You’ve always been cool, darling, the iPod will just make you stylish.
Why aren’t you at this convention, where, incidentally, I am currently? It seems very much your scene…
I was at Netroots Nation yesterday to give a talk. I think it’s the same client base as Comic-Con: pasty-white single guys.
