Anonymous' next target? Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church

I love these guys:

Quote:

Anonymous, a notorious collective of unnamed Internet activists, has put the Westboro Baptist Church on notice. Tuesday, the group Anonymous released an open letter to Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church (WBC). The letter is nothing short of an ultimatum: a cease and desist order against the Westboro Baptist Church.

While I usually don't think that blackmailing is a legit or moral way of achieving things I somehow can't get myself to condemn Anonymous for this.

So my bet is that the WBC ignores the Anonymous letter. Actually, I hope they ignore it. But something tells me that simply taking their web presence down won't stop them from raiding funerals.

Oh well. I'll just kick back and enjoy the show.

I wondered when this was going to happen.

This news warms the cockles of my dark little heart with pure joy; this will be so much better than the take on Scientology... it might even surpass yak-shaving day for the happy happy joy joy factor.

You're pure evil, man.

The thing about 4chan is that it's not really like everyone on the board is behind this. So I suppose two things could happen:

A. Lots of people can be behind it, wanting to do it for the lulz or because they're "moralfags" and the church might feel the heat.

or

B. it's like 3 people who sent an email to this church and the rest of /b/ said MYPA (not your personal army).

I'll wait and see on this one you can never really tell. I mean heck we can't even knock down a card stand in time square when we want to.

I think somebody should put them on the jehovah's witnesses' mailing list.

That would keep them busy.

Knock knock!

They'd be too busy trying to convert each other to cause anybody else problems.

If you're going to go the route of putting them on mailing lists, I can think of a few "special interest" magazines and catalogs that they really ought to be subscribed to.
