godhatesfags.com seemed to have been online forever; the good old Westboro Church, preaching hellfire and damnation to ho-mo-seeex-u-als with a blank and benevolent smile and less than no willingness to listen to anybody but each other and their prophet, no matter what. For a while, a site called fagshategod.com existed to bait it, Louis Theroux spent time trying to talk sense to them … you name it.
The moment it hit the Tokyo Two’s radar and gaydar, they were incensed. They spent months on the project and then one weekend, they hit it hard. One of the many global hacker orgs launched a denial of service attack that hackers still talk about. For a while, the site was covered in hippy style peace and love flowers and “God Loves Fags” sprayed all over it. Their coup de grace though, was getting hold of the church’s stunningly huge mailing list and sending out the following mailshot, right from the church’s very own holy server:
Brethren and Sistren and all those who maybe don’t quite fit in … ren,
As I was partaking of my customary cornflakes and chitlins this morning, the Lord – THE Lord, appeared to me with His whole holy heavenly host behind Him and He spake thus to Me … er, I mean me, “Thou shalt not, under any circumstances, no how, definitely not And I Really, Really Mean This, continue with your crusade of hatred against my most beloved and precious fags. Thee and thine, all thy brethren, sistren and children (and if they are still alive, your mothren and fathren too) shall henceforth cease and desist in this shameful behaviour. And furthermore, I apologise for all that bullshit I wrote in Leviticus.
Go forth and join other churches, for the Westboro Church is now strictly and for all eternity, a non-prophet organization.
Yours Sincerely, etc.
