Won't his funeral be in Australia? Are they going to fly down there for it?
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

The Westboro Baptist Church will picket Ledger's funeral: [link]
How do they even know where it is? It hasn't even been announced yet, I'm sure. How are they going to get anywhere near it?
WHY HASN'T ANYBODY KILLED ALL THESE MOTHERFUCKERS YET????????

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I hope his funeral is in Australia.
And that those fuckers try to walk there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, that burns.
Does God hate a lot? I mean, in his own words did he say he hated people?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Old Testament God may have, here and there, in Leviticus or one of the other extra-rulesy sections. New Testament God, not so much, except maybe the part where Jesus gets pissed off at people turning a temple courtyard into an open-air mall, and the parable where he gets pissed off at people who don't care for the poor and sick and clothe the homeless and visit people in prison and then end up in hell and whine about how unfair it is, how they would've been nicer if they'd known they were supposed to be nice to, you know, those kinds of people too.
Pulling "God hates fags" and "God wants us to picket soldiers' and GLBT or GLBT-friendly actors' funerals and mock the mourners" out of that requires a metric fuckload of handwavium, but Fred Phelps is just gifted that way.

If the funeral is in Australia, they might not be able to picket since there are more restrictions on free speech. I'm not sure the Aussies would consider it political speech.

They picket any high-profile funeral. They picketed one here of 5 family members (mother and 4 children including an 8-week old baby) killed in a car accident.
it's just so revolting

The real question is though, while they're picketing Ledger's funeral, will they also picket Jake Gyllenhaal's...
I'm hoping they'll have all passed into irrelevant history and been forgotten by the time Jake kicks it.
