The Westboro Baptist Church, led by uber-jackass Fred Phelps, has been hit with an $11 million fine for picketing the funeral of a dead marine. In a trapezoidally ridiculous twist of non-logic, the churh believes that dead soldiers are God’s way of punishing America for permitting even the most basic human rights for gay people. And if you’re really quiet, you can actually hear the sucking sound emanating from Phelps’ skull.

Many states already have laws banning the graveside protests, but Yesterday’s judgement marks the first time that the Hate Church has been successfully sued. The church plans to appeal, and Sheila Phelps-Roper, Phelps’ daughter, says the group will continue picketing military funerals with signs like: “Thank God for dead soldiers” and “God hates fags.”

Provided the judgement stands, the $11 million dollar fine should at least bankrupt these disgusting blots on the face of humanity. From the New York Times:

The defense attorney said the assets of the church and the three defendants are less than a million dollars and the compensatory award is about three times the defendants’ net worth, mainly in homes, cars and retirement accounts.

I hope this destroys the lives of Phelps and his ilk. There are some people who are so thoroughly vile, they deserve to suffer. See how many funerals you can picket when you can’t even buy food.

The Westboro Baptist Church: even their troglodyte, inbred, six-toed frogspawn get in on the hate!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. People are jerks.

A Winnipeg Facebook group-  “For those people who have thrown something at those lovely girls on Higgins”- allows members to share stories and tips for violently assaulting local prostitutes. Yes, even misognyistic morons are able to make connections via the magic of social networking.

Per Facebook regs, any offensive, abusive or hateful material is not permitted. I’m unable to confirm if this group is still up- if you have access to FB right now, please let me know in the comments section.

Happily, there is already an anti-throwing things at prostitutes group, and they outnumber the original group 6-to-1. Let’s hope the can counteract the hatred groups of a few evolutionary throwbacks.

UPDATE: I’ve had scattered confirmation that the group’s page is now down. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Do you like moustaches? Of course you do. They are the universally accepted symbol of good taste, intelligence and refinement. So, why not dedicate a whole month to them? Better yet, why not dedicate an entire month to them and raise money for important men’s health-related charities?

Enter Movember. The month-formerly-known-as-November is now a month-long festival dedicated to appreciated the great ‘stache. As an added bonus, it also raises money for prostate cancer research. Every year, 22,300 Canadian men are diagnosed with prostate cancer, and 4,300 die from the disease. If you are a man, know a man, or plan to one day meet a man, this is a important health issue.

The concept of Movember is simple: all month, guys grow their moustaches. People sponsor their moustaches. Cash is raised to support the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada. Everybody wins.

Nunc Scio is please to announce its support for Movember. I will personally be growing my soup-strainer out for this important cause. If you’d like to help me in my quest, please go here. If you’d like to donate, please enter my reference number- 83497- and enter your desired donation amount. Every little bit helps, and donations over $20 get a shiny tax receipt.

So please, help Nunc Scio help Movember help fight prostate cancer. I thank you for your time and attention. Also, please excuse my appropriation of the Guy Fawkes Day rhyme-thing. It is for a good cause, after all.
