When the world’s purest concentration of bigotry, hate-mongering and delusion decide to protest your own concert—a collection of walking turds inexplicably wielding placards saying “God H8s Fags”—what are you meant to do – except troll the fuck out of them, beating dickholes at their own game?
Foo Fighters were presented with this exact situation overnight – as Westboro Baptist Church picketers staged a protest outside their concert in Kansas City, Missouri.
Enlisting the help of Rick Astley, the ensuing scene is a sight to behold.
The downside of the counter-protest came Twitter, as WBC literally used the word “illest” in playing the “all coverage is good coverage” PR line.

Troll on! Sign coverage is the illest!

Foo Fighters’ display overnight follows a similar scene in Kansas City in 2011 – where the band sang their LGBT anthem “Keep It Clean (Hot Buns)” to the protesters.
SO. FKN. PROUD.
