I heard from my friend today that the Westboro Baptist Church was coming. To our town. To picket our churches.
I don't know what to do. My friend asked /b/ and they recommended going there with popcorn and eating it very uncomfortably around them.
What does FP think I should do? Ask for an autograph? Take a sign and get THAT autographed?
ignore them 100%
WBC isn't a church. I'm not even convinced they actually believe the stuff they spout. They're legal trolls - they show up, start as much shit as they can within freedom-of-speech, then sue the city or cops or whoever tries to stop them from doing it. There's a reason like 90% of the family are licensed lawyers.
The only way to beat them is to ignore them.

I'm not trying to annoy them or anything. This is just a rare opportunity and I want to do something silly, nothing super drastic as to seriously get their attention.
Exterminatus.

Or hoist a rainbow flag in front of your door for the opening week.
Blow Kisses at all the men.
Proclaim your love for Satan, gays, Muslims, and Athiests, and Jews, and black people, and everything else that they hate.
Make stink bombs

Is it really worth it though?

Perfectly worth it. What is there to lose when sitting there watching them with popcorn?

What's the harm in clean fun that isn't disruptive or illigal?

You know what you should do? You should do nothing. Attention is exactly what they want.

I still don't think you understand.

But I bet you they don't want to smell ass all day
Blast some Free Bird and see what happens.
join them
Shit in a sock and slap them with it
do something that'll piss them off a lot, but won't get you in any kind of legal trouble, the last part is the most important
The thing you gotta remember about the Westboro guys is that they are lawyers firsts and Babtists seccond.
What this means is that they are doing what they are doing so you DO get pissed off and try to bring the fight to them! ... which will then give them the right to sue you because ohhh I have the right to free speach meaning I can be as loud and annoyingly disruptive as I want!
Feigning gayness is also a viable option. Im kinda amazed they still exist.
Get [url=http://www.oherrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Biker.jpg]sweet hat with a chain on it[/url], a beatbox and some YMCA happening?
Is that the sort of answer you're looking for?

They will continue to exist so long as people allow them to exist. They survive off of attention, and by mentioning them, hating them, and talking about them you're biting the bait. Just ignore them and move on. Don't protest, don't do anything - just ignore them.

An entity can and will outlast its founder depending on how strong the entity is.
Walk around in the most visually obnoxious Gay Pride outfit you can possibly muster, and be sure to stay close to them at all times.
Bonuspoints if you carry a Ghetto Blaster with you that's constantly blasting The Village People and Gay Bar from Electric Six as loud as possible within legally acceptable limits.
Not give a shit.
Carry around a rainbow picket sign with the words "God Loves Gays" on it.
Melt some candy bars to make it seem like they're poops, and throw a bunch at them as you drive by
pass out leaflets with links to facepunch threads about westboro church
