Mock them, curse them, sue them, put liens on their property, bathe the family name in mud so thick it’ll never come off. All of that’s fair game. But dear god — they’re still human beings. A little decency, sir, please.
Update: It could have been worse, I guess.

a great reality TV show would be this Cult group living with some San Fran freaks for a few months.
jp on April 8, 2008 at 12:28 PM
HAHA! I agree, Allah, I’d choose waterboarding over that music.
p40tiger on April 8, 2008 at 12:28 PM
That’s not torture. If he really wanted to bring the pain, the song would have been “Chocolate Rain.”
Slublog on April 8, 2008 at 12:30 PM
BANNED.
Allahpundit on April 8, 2008 at 12:31 PM
BANNED
;)
Asher on April 8, 2008 at 12:31 PM
Actually, Chocolate Rain on an endless loop would be pretty bad. The whole song’s just a five-second loop as it is. Imagine it, thousands of times. Thousands…
Allahpundit on April 8, 2008 at 12:31 PM
Ok…that was just weird.
are you reading my thoughts? Stop reading my thoughts…
Asher on April 8, 2008 at 12:32 PM
It’s about time! I hate that guy!
Wait…
Slublog on April 8, 2008 at 12:32 PM
Is it being rick rolled if you go to watch a video of someone being rick rolled?
Skywise on April 8, 2008 at 12:32 PM
LOL. Congratulations, Slublog.
Spirit of 1776 on April 8, 2008 at 12:33 PM
This is a very important link. All, including AP, must click it.
MadisonConservative on April 8, 2008 at 12:33 PM
It’s about time someone gave Phelps and his wacked-out bunch of loons a taste of their own medicine!
pilamaye on April 8, 2008 at 12:38 PM
MadisonConservative, I never did like you. :-p
KelliD on April 8, 2008 at 12:38 PM
Haha, priceless! Nice mohawk, lol.
Richard Romano on April 8, 2008 at 12:39 PM
Rick Astley pwnz!
Chakra Hammer on April 8, 2008 at 12:39 PM
My favorite part was the opening title sequence: Westboro Baptist GET’S r-r’d. The “apostophe s” in “get’s” is classic. I nearly wet my pant’s!
boko fittleworth on April 8, 2008 at 12:39 PM
Damn you.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on April 8, 2008 at 12:40 PM
The only thing that would have been worse………………….You guessed it. Frank Stallone.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on April 8, 2008 at 12:41 PM
I dispute the lawsuit this Church had against it. Are we going to get sued if we ever protest a suicide bomber’s funeral when Islam becomes more powerful.
PrezHussein on April 8, 2008 at 12:41 PM
Have you no decency, sir?
Enrique on April 8, 2008 at 12:41 PM
Awww, but I love you!
MadisonConservative on April 8, 2008 at 12:42 PM
What no Rainin Men?
ronsfi on April 8, 2008 at 12:42 PM
I suddenly have a tingling down my leg
Kini on April 8, 2008 at 12:43 PM
Haha…the freaks at Westboro have been Rick Rolled!
bentman78 on April 8, 2008 at 12:45 PM
Yeesh….yeah, they are a crazy, whacked-out group of people that no one really takes seriously. I find them more pathetic than anything. They purposely try to make people angry and then profit from that. I watched a documentary on them, and people would drive by and throw things at them and one guy hit their young son in the face with a soda can, he must have been all of ten years old. These kids are casualties caught up in the middle of the tragedy that this family is…it’s really probably best to ignore them. Don’t give them what they want, they want reactions. Just ignore.
mattyj86 on April 8, 2008 at 12:49 PM
hahaha i guess it is lol
trailortrash on April 8, 2008 at 12:53 PM
Haha, what a punk!
So how is the dark side of the force? Quicker, more seductive I hear.
Spirit of 1776 on April 8, 2008 at 12:55 PM
Ouch, that……HURT!
Did you see the pain in the man’s face? I mean, I enjoy those nasty fight videos like any other muscle-bound-only-in-my-computer-guy-mind, but dayum homie, that was a KNOCK OUT!
HotAir.com, you should sensor yourselves for the sake of the young and weak who might be viewing.

Mohawk hairdo………………..$5.00
Boombox……………………..$45.00
Rick Rollin’ the Phelps wackos……Priceless!
dmann on April 8, 2008 at 12:56 PM
Join me, and together we can rule the blogosphere as alpha male and beta male!
MadisonConservative on April 8, 2008 at 12:57 PM
Can we hire this guy?
Connie on April 8, 2008 at 12:58 PM
Go all out, Play Barry Mannilo songs.
They will fall to the ground screaming in pain, might result in permanent damage.
1sttofight on April 8, 2008 at 12:59 PM
Those ignorant twits probably have no idea that they were p0wnd.
bikermailman on April 8, 2008 at 1:01 PM
On another note, here is another cult getting the same Rick Roll treatment. Looks like this meme is catching on with other people. It seems to be THE song to use against evil entities these days. Wouldn’t it be cool is someone Rick Rolled CAIR? Or the Saudi Arabian embassy? Hell yeah it would.
mram on April 8, 2008 at 1:01 PM
We’re gonna miss you!
:)
Merovign on April 8, 2008 at 1:04 PM
Laughter IS the best medicine!
RushBaby on April 8, 2008 at 1:07 PM
Oh that is good.
drjohn on April 8, 2008 at 1:09 PM
Haha again! I have to admit the idea of a ominous breathing apparatus and a sweeping black cape is nearly irresistible.
Spirit of 1776 on April 8, 2008 at 1:15 PM
I love this! I may have to Rick Roll the School Board when they next raise taxes to pay for another administrator.
MCPO Airdale on April 8, 2008 at 1:19 PM
I love the internet…endless hours of fun. A day without a rickroll is like a day without sunshine. Thanks AP for making my day start right (its 7:22 here)
HawaiiLwyr on April 8, 2008 at 1:22 PM
Yeah, that was funny. Allah, thank you for not really banning Slublog, and thank you for letting me have a second life on HotAir.
Red Pill on April 8, 2008 at 1:29 PM
Heh, someone linked this in my comments a few days ago.
doubleplusundead on April 8, 2008 at 1:30 PM
You will never be forgiven for that.
awake on April 8, 2008 at 1:39 PM
Dear god! The horror…the horror.
flipflop on April 8, 2008 at 1:40 PM
Did that sign say, “God loves mohawks”?
d1carter on April 8, 2008 at 1:49 PM
Okay, kids, time to go back to our happy place….
Rosmerta on April 8, 2008 at 1:52 PM
Snicker.
Rick Rolled.
Anonymous strikes again.
Kristopher on April 8, 2008 at 1:57 PM
…are there /b/tards in the house?
MadisonConservative on April 8, 2008 at 2:04 PM
I had to look it up. Heard the term a few times, but thought it was something actually nasty or violent.
Maybe I’m hurting my reputation as an elitist, aloof, tough guy conservative, but I kind of like that song.
LegendHasIt on April 8, 2008 at 2:06 PM
That song should be outlawed,shot into space
on its way to a gapeing black hole where sound
and especially light cannot escape!
I tell ya,its the only way to do it,there is
no other alternative,wait a tick,maybe shooting
it towards the Sun,might be better!Ummm!
canopfor on April 8, 2008 at 2:17 PM
My god… don’t these people know any mercy???
RICKROLLD!
hellyan on April 8, 2008 at 2:20 PM
And a perfect example of why freedom of expression is so damned important!!!
Without it, those morons would not be there to be so properly ridculed!
Jim708 on April 8, 2008 at 2:38 PM
You’re evil. EVIL! (Gypsy at 1:18) :)
inviolet on April 8, 2008 at 3:18 PM
Have you seen this one of those Australian guys “hitting on” one the phelps dudes?

libertytexan on April 8, 2008 at 3:47 PM
That vid is so full of win.
I’m crying in the corner like a little girl for the beauty of it.
spmat on April 8, 2008 at 3:47 PM
MadisonConservative, I feel all funny in my pants.
N. O'Brain on April 8, 2008 at 4:07 PM
Can someone post a link to this video - I can’t view it here on the site….
Thanks!
jrlingreenbay on April 8, 2008 at 4:23 PM

RushBaby on April 8, 2008 at 4:38 PM
No.
They’re not.
Thatisall.
Misha I on April 8, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Get off 4chan. NOW! That stuff will rot your brain.
malan89 on April 8, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Excellent stunt, though.
Ridicule is a powerful weapon indeed :-)
Misha I on April 8, 2008 at 4:44 PM
LOL - ok, I was definitely expecting something different…. but Rick Astley(sp?) is definitely vicious.
As a PGR member, I’m happy to see these clowns get a little mocked at anytime.
No violence - no confrontations - just a little pwned at their own game.
Good for him.
jrlingreenbay on April 8, 2008 at 4:47 PM
Maybe he can drop by to serve these protesters too? I swear he can make a “dial-a-mock” service…
SkinnerVic on April 8, 2008 at 5:21 PM
You kidding? Got banned intentionally from there a long time ago. 7chan is where it’s at.
MadisonConservative on April 8, 2008 at 5:55 PM
If you’re gonna get banned…get banned with style!
malan89 on April 8, 2008 at 6:04 PM
I guess I’m out of the loop. After being physically and verbally abused for years, do you think this even fazed them?
Zaire67 on April 8, 2008 at 6:40 PM
Yes they could have been Tay Zonaday Rolled
USBB on April 8, 2008 at 6:43 PM
Hit the post button too soon. I like some of Tay’s stuff but his cover of the Rick Roll is really really really bad. And I am being kind!
USBB on April 8, 2008 at 6:48 PM
I’ve always been surprised they haven’t been handled more roughly than they have.
clark smith on April 8, 2008 at 7:00 PM
Nah, they aren’t human.
Mooseman on April 8, 2008 at 8:31 PM
the day being rick rolled doesn’t phaze you, is the day you officially have an obsidian heart and no longer are amongst the ‘normal’ human population.
Only the sternest of constitutions recover from being über pwned.
MannyT-vA on April 8, 2008 at 8:37 PM
I threw up in my mouth a little bit….
Vntnrse on April 8, 2008 at 9:34 PM
thanks… i think.
at least i can now put a recent episode of south park into perspective.
TheCulturalist on April 9, 2008 at 12:24 AM
Yeah, I always wondered about “rickrolling”. Seriously, in a couple minutes I can come up with worse stuff to stick in someone’s head.
Lambchop & Shari Lewis - “The Song that Never Ends”
“Its a Small World After All”
That HamsterDance song, or “Badger Badger Badger”…
Biz Markie - “Just a Friend”
I mean really, given the options; “Rickrolling” fails… it could be much much worse.
And for anyone who just got one of these stuck in their head? Sorry about that.
gekkobear on April 9, 2008 at 3:55 AM
I saw the documentary on these creeps. The claim to be Christians and I’m all for believing whatever one wants. I’m a Christian myself. When it comes to protesting a funeral and the funeral of one of our best and brightest, they have crossed the line and can no longer just be ignored!
