And in case you were wondering how a pack of good-natured Star Wars fans and Marvel nerds protest, it's a little like this:


If Westboro came to any other liberal convention's doorstep, it wouldn't be unthinkable for every twenty-something in black frames to unload on them like a pack of wolves.

The "Is This Thing On?" sign on made me seriously LOL.
do you think the hypno-toad guy's sunglasses are meant to protect him from toad-hypnosis?
No Parking at Any Time--the ideal Westboro signage.
Lest you think all protesters are humorless, I have memory of a Joey Ramone lookalike at the 1999 WTO convention walking around with a sign that said "Gabba, gabba hey."
That was me, dressed as Joey Ramone!
