PROTEST PROTEST

So, a few weeks ago, former guest Mike "Awesome" and I went to a counter-protest. The Westboro Baptist Church, a congregation of a few hundred that are most related, decided to do a small "tour" of the North East and protest things they do not particularly like. Stuff like same-sex marriage, not believing in God and being Jewish. Now, I believe every person has the right to protest whatever they like, but these guys...well, take a look at their placards:


They're not exactly tactful in their expression. So anyway, we were going to the Rutgers campus, where the Church was having their protest, and join a counter-protest. Awesome made a sign and brought it with him, of which you can see here:


His sign is pretty ridiculous, but it's part of a growing trend of protest signs that are humorous. Also, there are some signs that are completely serious, but some of us might find them hilarious anyway. I found a great article on Buzzfeed about "The 50 Best Protest Signs of 2009". Here's a few to start you off:
