If the title of this blog post looks a little confusing, let me assure you that it's not. It was the only thing I could come up with to describe just what would happen if and/or when hate-monger Fred Phelps and his funky followers garnered up enough courage to do what they've set out to do; and what they intend on doing is boycotting, disrespecting and marring the memorial service of our beloved Bernie Mac. Apparently Phelps and his crew (a crew that consists of several Phelps family members) has a severe problem with folks in the entertainment industry who are 'enablers' of homosexuality. Where Bernie fits into the equation is beyond me; especially when you consider the fact that during his Original Kings of Comedy stand-up routine, Bernie blasted his 'milk & cookies' nephew for his sugary ways. Phelps flock first gain national media attention when they boycotted the funeral of Matthew Shepard, a gay white dude who was killed because he was a homosexual. After failing to receive enough media attention for that stunt, they began picketing funerals of US soldiers who died in Iraq....as well as any funeral of a celebrity who they believe are 'fag-enablers'. Only now, they opt to release press announcements in an effort to make the public aware of which celebrity's funeral they plan to picket. A few months ago, they arrived at a memorial service for actor Heath Ledger who portrayed the role of a gay man in the film Brokeback Mountain.
But rest assure in knowing that if any kind of unnecessary madness erupts at Bernie's memorial, what will happen next will mostly likely be--in the words of the Mac Man--a 'misunderstanding.' For the life of me I can not understand what would make anyone so freaking hateful that they'd go to the extreme of picketing a deceased person's funeral. Well, I hope Phelps' (with his creepy-looking self) health insurance is paid up. Now, I'm tired and frustrated at the thought of giving his piece so much or my posting time. Read his press release statement below.

Gotta thank the ladies over at LSA for pointing this out to me. I saw it there first.
