Wackos to attend Ledger funeral

It just wouldn't be a funeral in America if those crazies from Reverend Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church didn't picket it. They're the folks who say - as if they'd know - "God hates fags". And because Heath Ledger appeared in homo-centric "Brokeback Moutain," they won't let Ledger's passing go unnoticed.

Their flyer declared that ”Yes! WBC will picket this pervert's funeral, in religious protest and warning.” And once again they will disrupt the lives of those who want to pay their respects to a young man whose life ended much too soon.

Is there no way to put these people in their place? Perhaps we could plan a collective mooning at one of their non-funeral protests, or bury their "church" in a collection of porn star dildos as our way of saying hi.

Until we come up with something, we can thank the Australians for this sweet clip. Aren't WBC members trained to handle this kind of situation?
