This is real, from the Washington Post, not The Onion.

A singularly bad idea, I'd think. Hell hath no fury like Apple Geeks scorned.
Announced via twitter for iphone, no less...

They're attention whores, and this will certainly garner them some attention.

This is just so expected. I don't even think people care that about them anymore.

The novelty of their OTT hatred has worn off.

We should stand in a circle in front of them and hold out iPads up, blocking them.

It is getting to the point that the question is now, "What WON'T Westboro picket?"

They are really becoming passe.

They had better picket my funeral. If they don't, people will think I'm a nobody...

They put out press releases that they were going to my hometown to picket the funerals of 4 of my dad's friends that died of carbon monoxide poisoning two weeks ago. They didn't show.

The tweets Margie has sent out after this are hilarious. Her excuse to using it is to remind everyone that Steve Jobs is in hell. She also said that God created the iPhone for that purpose. Right...

And they'll probably coordinate it on their iPhones.

Well without the iPhone, we wouldn't have Grindr or Scruff...

Anyone who is anyone is going to hell. I'd be seriously insulted if they DIDN'T picket my funeral!

For real, Joe. Heaven is just a bunch of boring losers sitting around wishing they were where all the fun is.

And halos are a crappy accessory.

They'll justify picketing any high-profile funeral just for the publicity. It's become so expected, the news of these protests will only be met more and more apathy. So far, their list of accomplishments is gettin air time, but absolutely nothing that affects change in favor of their alleged cause.
