Like Neil Gaiman, on whose blog I found the link, I have nothing to add to what Warren Ellis wrote on his blog in reference to the video of the Westboro Baptist Church performing a reworking of We Are The World, which they've charmingly re-titled God Hates The World.
This is not something for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach, and it is NSFW (or safe for anywhere else, for that matter). As Ellis says:
If you can stomach it, the last twenty seconds are as close to pure evil as I’ve seen today.
He's absolutely right.
In case you don't know, the Westboro Baptist Church is the extended family of twisted fucks who follow the teaching of their patriarch Fred Phelps. They maintain the Web site godhatesfags.com, and protest the funerals of homosexuals and soldiers killed in Iraq.
(The reasoning behind protesting soldiers' funerals is that God is killing them to demonstrate His anger at the U.S. for its permissive, sinful ways. As I said, twisted fucks.)
