Political cures that may be worse than the disease Vol.2: Military Funeral Protests

Well, it looks like the Westboro Baptists are at it again.

I read this latest article today, and an idea hit me. Here's the great way to really screw with these protesters:

Go up to them and pretend to join their protest. Whatever they shout, you repeat with great enthusiasm. Get more and more riled up and make yourself look like a really passionate person who wholeheartedly believes in their cause.

When you get to a fever pitch, Move to the front of the group. Pull out a gas can full of water and pour it all over your body. It might help to put just a tiny bit of gas in the can to get the smell in the air, but not enough to risk catching fire. Now that you've gotten their attention, pretend to be having a lot of trouble getting a match lit. When they try and stop you, start shouting crazy shit like, "C'mon! We're not getting their attention. It's time to show them some smoke to match the fire in our bellies!"

My guess is one of two things will occur, either A) you'll disrupt their protest enough to make it too unnerving to continue, or B) some of them will take your advice and set themselves on fire. It's a win-win either way.
