Westboro Church members hate the world. It would be understandable -not encouraged, but understandable- for the world to respond by simply leaving them to their fates.

But every 'joke' is bound to offend someone, somewhere. Someone might make a joke about a one-armed man being arrested and handcuffed but that could bring back bad memories for someone who only has one arm.

The irony and the "funny" lies in the fact that they're saying everyone else
is going to be consumed by fire.

I am sorry for your bad experience(s), but if EVERY single person's sensitivities
caused a jokes or cartoon or book to be (basically) censored, there wouldn't
be many joke beyond "the chicken crossing the road" joke.

Grim as we wanna be,

I DID think of the fact that it's not "fuuny" -- it wasn't meant so much to be
funny as ironic considering that specific group,
