Thirtysecondlife put together this touching video documenting this morning's Wesboro Baptist Church v. Park Slope showdown.
I cried (agggain).

I just got back from the hate parade that the Westboro Baptist Church staged this morning in front of Temple Beth Elohim on Garfield and 8th Avenue. There's a bunch of shit that I want to tell you about it, but basically this was my take away:
Le sigh.
It's shit like this that makes me wonder how in the Christ is the Brooklyn Paper is even considered a real newspaper?
Oh wait, its not.
Anyway.
Of course, they've weighed in on exactly how we should, as all for one and one for all Brooklynites, be responding to the hate parade that's gonna go down here on Saturday when the Westboro Baptist Church rolls on in with all their homies:
• Buy an ice cream cone and eat it really messily — so messily that news photographers can’t help but take a picture of the disgusting scene. Say you are protesting the tyranny of neatness in America today.
• Dress up in Antebellum garb and hold signs indicating your contempt for the Tariff of 1833. If asked, say you are a Whig.
• Wear a black-and-white-striped shirt, a beret and white face paint and perform a mime piece in protest of the widespread hatred of mimes worldwide.
Yes. I am totally fucking serious, people.
Here it is.
So, you know how we're doing that RAD singles event at the Bell House on 9/30: The BK Meatup??
I'm SURE your ass already has a ticket (if not, consider yourself warned: BUY. ONE. NOW).
Anyway.
We've been getting a lot of questions about the whole thing, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to set the record straight and update on you some shit: like our DUDE SPECIAL!
If you're someone who:
*tends to eat dinner every night and;
*doesn't like to pay for said dinner
Then you will love the shit out of this Park Slope Restaurant Tour goin' down tonight.
Here's how it works: you basically walk your ass all over the nabe, and stop off at participating restaurants to get a little taste of what shit would be like, if you weren't such a cheap bastard and actually went there on your own.
It's free, so there's really no reason NOT to join in on the fun (and a fucking rerun of Grey's Anatomy is *not* an acceptable excuse, just so you know). You only get a tiny taste at each place, but if you hit them all, that will probs add up to something quasi dinner-ish.
Loads o'restaurants are particpating this year, so make a list, check it twice, and then hit em all (click link below for full list).
