Westboro Baptist Church to Picket Roger Ebert’s Funeral

The anti-gay group says it will protest outside the movie critic’s memorial service Monday in Chicago.

Leaders of Kansas’ Westboro Baptist Church, notorious for picketing at the funerals of soldiers and gay teenagers, have revealed that they plan to picket the funeral of late movie critic Roger Ebert on Monday.

In its news release, the group calls Ebert a “f-g enabler” and complains that he used his Twitter “to mock the faithful servants of God at Westboro Baptist Church.”

That’s crazy. A “f-g enabler”? Not that there would be anything wrong with that, of course, but putting it that way sure is rude. “F-g enabler”? Yeesh. Although come to think of it, Ebert did give Anaconda three and a half stars

But seriously, though, Westboro gets two thumbs down.

Ebert has left us, sadly, but now a couple of film buffs are continuing his legacy of grading movies via an arbitrary unit of measure. Ladies and gentlemen: On Cinema.
