Ay, Matey!

I loved this non-violent action in Little Rock. Clever! Via the Arkansas Times blog.

Way to go, matie!

What do you do to make a bunch of souless nutcases abandon their post at the Convention Center? Send in the pirates!

Yep, the cuckoo Phelps hate group walked the plank this morning after a happy bunch dressed like pirates and holding signs saying "God hates shrimp -- Leviticus" and "God hates cotton-polyester blends" stood opposite them at the corner of Markham and Scott streets. The group, made up of Central Arkansas Pastafarians, waved swords and growled "Arrghh!" in a manner that would have made Abbie Hoffman proud.

With cars honking and waving at the pirates and a TV crew giving them all the attention, the Phelps group -- with a child in tow, sadly -- picked up their "fag" epithets and went away. Pitiful.

  1. That is BEAUTIFUL. In the long run it'll be far more effective in making these crank-cases disappear for good. Splice the main brace me hearties!
