The United State’s main source of hatred, the Westboro Baptist Church, decided to protest last night’s Foo Fighters show in Kansas City, Missouri, for unknown reasons, even though there is never much of a reason for them to ever protest anything. The protesters assembled in front of the Sprint Center before the show when the band went riding in on a pickup truck blasting “Never Gonna Give You Up” and dancing while holding up signs saying “You got Rick Roll’d (again)” and “Keep It Clean.” This is the second time that Dave Grohl did a counter-protest against the WBC from a pickup truck.

Westboro Baptist Church Parodies Fall Out Boy
Westboro Baptist Church, the controversial church group that pickets events, recorded a parody of “Thnks fr th Mmrs” by Fall Out Boy entitled ‘Thnk Gd Fr Vrythng’.
Westboro Baptist Church have set their attention towards from picketing soliders’ funerals and their families to protesting and parodying bands such as Panic! At The Disco and most recently, Fall Out Boy. This time, the Church turned their protest into a parody song.
Panic! At The Disco, when the church picketed their show in Kansas City earlier this year, and donated $20 to the charity, Pride 2014, for every member of the Church. The band eventually donating $1000.
The Church’s next protest will be Fall Out Boy’s show in Kansas City tonight, August 9. ‘Thnk Gd Fr Vrythng’ parodies the original, “Thnks fr th Mmrs” lyrics to show the Church’s beliefs.
