Yesterday, the Westboro Baptist Church picketed Comic Con. They were met by a group of anti-protesters; my title is from one of their signs. However, I think my favorite is the person who dressed as Bender (great costume!) and carried a sign saying "Kill all Humans". Good job everyone. :) iO9 has photos.

My vote for the best (only?) Comic Con related joke on a late night talk show: "If you have a computer problem you need fixed this weekend and you're not in San Diego, you're screwed." - Craig Ferguson

My only question is, given all the other stuff that's highlighted these days, why do they still call it Comic Con?

As per the WBC pickets: I would have suggested "don't feed the trolls" method since what they want is attention. Humour, on the hand is great protest too.

My only question is, given all the other stuff that's highlighted these days, why do they still call it Comic Con? That's been my question for a long time.

Personally, I'd like to go, but way too many people for me.
