    The thing with these threads is if they're caught early they're usually closed.

    But if a few replies have been made or it looks might it might lighten the mood then there's no harm.

    With the volume of threads in AH it makes more sense to close similar new threads.

    It would be worse if the OP actually were a new user (as opposed to somebody with 3K posts who should probably know better), new user's really need it put to them.

    Know better?

    Don't reply to the thread if you don't like it that much, you're only serving it more attention.

    Don't mention the WBC if you don't like it that much, you're only serving it more attention.

    I do like it though, I find it a source of great amusement and want to highlight it to other people, hence I made this thread.

    Should really work on that sand cought in your vagina.

    Ok, it's a zombie thread, but whatever happened to this story from last August?

    Westboro apparently accepted an all-expenses offer to travel to protest genuine persecution of christians - in Iraq. At the hands of IS.

    Westboro Baptist Church, the hate group that masquerades as a religious organization, is known for their publicity stunts, but they may have bit off more than they can chew with this one. After a comedian offered to pay for them to fly to Iraq so they can protest real Christian persecution at the hands of Islamic militants, the group tweeted that they have accepted his offer. They want to take their picket signs and head over to a country currently occupied by a group that beheads Christian children without hesitation – this ought to go well.

    To bring you up to speed: Last week, Australian comedian Adam Hills gave an brilliant, hilarious proposal to the WBC after learned that they planned to – surprise, surprise – picket Robin Williams’ funeral. On his show, The Last Leg, Hills pointed out that the infamous “God Hates Fags” group is quick to march around with signs protesting American hedonism, but don’t have the courage to protest the daily persecution Christians in Iraq are facing at the hands of “the people threatening to behead Christians if they don’t convert.”

    Hills tells the group:
