The notorious homophobes at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westboro_Baptist_Church">Westboro Baptist Church</a> will take a break from picketing the funerals of <a href="http://www.speroforum.com/site/article.asp?id=2888">dead soldiers</a> to go after pop-punk outfit <a href="http://www.punknews.org/bands/alltimelow">All Time Low</a>. The "church" posted an explanation of the reasons for the protest in their <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.godhatesfags.com/schedule.html">schedule</a>, but the gist is this: <blockquote> How do you know how far gone a society is? You look at their social icons. When you look at these gender-confused, haphazard freakazoids then you can plainly see that america is DOOMED, for real! This is the final generation, and a little concussion is the least of their worries. Here is what they have to look forward to when this once great nation finally falls - for her fall is already started. She is such a big, fat, disgusting, stupid whore that it is going to take a while to fall (brings to mind the comedy routine that Eddie Murphy does about his drunken cow of an aunt who falls down the stairs at each of their summer bar-b-ques as he was growing up). That is the picture of this nation falling slow, steady, hard and sure. </blockquote> <p> The statement goes on to call Obama to the Antichrist, before describing Cain as "the father of all musicians." For more information on the organization, you can check out this documentary produced by Louis Theroux titled <i>The Most Hated Family in America</i>, <a href="http://vodpod.com/watch/453706-louis-theroux-westboro-baptist-church">here</a>. <Br/><Br/> The protest will be held outside the December 6th show at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia.
