Foo Fighters serenade Westboro Baptist Church

Thought this warranted its own thread.

The Westboro Baptist Church was picketing a Foo Fighters concert in Kansas City. The Foos pulled up, in costume, on a flat bed truck and sang a song for them.

In summary: The Foo Fighters are fucking awesome.

They truly are a horrible group that deserves all the hatred and vitriol directed their way. The Westboro Baptist Church is not that great either.

WBC are basically the trolls you see on the internet, only in meat-space rather than cyber-space. That was great and the Foos are way cool, but just by giving that "church" acknowledgment, any acknowledgment, gives them exactly what they seek and they seek only attention.

Here's Fred Phelps dancing to the Foo's song:

Re: Foo Fighters serenade Westboro Baptist Church

That's pretty damn funny. Not sure why it's in a Foo Fighters thread in Music though.
