Westboro Baptist Church Leader, Margie J. Phelps, Tweets Picket Of Steve Jobs Funeral From An IPhone

Steve Jobs' death has garnered a number of reactions, but none as bizarre as this.

Westboro Baptist Church leader Margie J. Phelps has announced that the group will picket the Apple co-founder's funeral, condemning him for "teaching his neighbors to sin." While their actual reasons for promoting the picket seem a bit unclear, how Phelps made the announcement is causing quite a stir (and garnering a few laughs).

She tweeted from an iPhone.

The tweet that has critics pointing out the irony says little more than "He is in hell." The controversial church seems to be sticking by their words, however, ignoring criticism of the method used to get out their message.

1. LOL!

Side note - I always appreciate hearing the Phelps are picketing a funeral somewhere other than Kansas. It's nice to know they're out of state for at least a few days.

4. Too bad that Jobs didn't develop an iPud for Margie

I'm sure Fred is worthless in that department.

5. They are just shooting for publicity, as always. What I think will be interesting...

will be when a former (or sitting I suppose) president dies and has a funeral. I'd have to guess that the Secret Service might be able to give WBC a little more hassle than most.

6. WEAK!

They could have at least have called him a ROTTEN FAG APPLE or something. I'm disappointed in their temerity. :evilgrin:
