Comic Con Geeks Win Holy War vs. Westboro Baptist Church
Let’s say you belong to a completely insane pseudo-Christian group with the catchy bumper sticker name of “God Hates Fags” – aka The Westboro Baptist Church, a “church” so fucked up that even snake handlers and Pat Robertson won’t have anything to do with you.

One day you decide to add a little spice to your daily routine of horrifying grieving families of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan (“God is killing these soldiers for serving a sinful and rebellious sodomite nation”) and decide to take your warped little ‘Manson Family for Christ’ – complete with pre-teens – to protest Comic Con, the planet’s largest collection of developmentally arrested adults.

Bad Idea.

The Comic Conners swarmed the hatemongers and routed them. Funny details below:

3. Right, by pointing and laughing at it.
There's no point debating the merits since they don't have any. So, we just have to isolate them by ridicule.

8. Is that some sort of fart, or fart strength measurement?
It sounds very dangerous. Perhaps it's a newer, genetically engineered form of "silent but deadly"?
