Westboro Baptist Church gets Ireland's flag wrong and declares it hates the Ivory Coast

The Westboro Baptist Church has inadvertently declared its hatred of the Ivory Coast, after printing the Irish flag backwards on their posters.

The controversial religious group released a video which featured members of the religious group attempting to perform an Irish jig on an Irish flag to a song about Ireland going to hell.

The video was posted online after the historic yes vote in the Irish gay marriage referendum, which made Ireland the world's first country to legalise same-sex marriage by a popular vote.

Further postings feature signs which say "God Hates Ireland" superimposed on a flag. Unfortunately, the flag has the colours in reverse order: orange, white and green – which is the flag of the Ivory Coast.

4. It's a sign that they misheard God's message. It was supposed to be "God hates FLAGS."

7. That sounds about right for these idiots

But then again, they probably have some reason they hate Ivory Coast too. Hate seems to be their truth faith.

11. They show flags upside down intentionally

...to represent "distress".

I've seen some of their crappy videos where they show multiple flags upside down by rotating them 180 degrees, not simply flipping top for bottom, so the Irish flag would come out looking like that.

Look in the final third of their "Smell the Brimstone" cartoon (not going to dignify it by posting it here!)

12. Further proof that hatred is a product that destroys the vessel in which it is contained...

... and in this case it seems to have destroyed the brain cells, which is also common. Blind hatred doesn't require brains...
