Phelps Clan Tweets Intent To Picket Jobs Funeral Via iPhone

Posted by samzenpus on from the god-hates-turtlenecks dept.

It comes as no surprise that Margie Phelps of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church has already declared the church's intention to picket Steve Jobs's funeral. What is interesting, is that she did so using an iPhone. The 142 characters of wrath read: "Westboro will picket his funeral.He[sic] had a huge platform; gave God no glory & taught sin. MT @AP: Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has died at 56."

  1. Her Defense Was Pretty Good Too by eldavojohn · · Score: 5, Funny
    You missed the best part when she defended herself:

    Rebels mad cuz I used iPhone to tell you Steve Jobs is in hell.God created iPhone for that purpose! :)

    She's just confirming what Apple fans already knew: God works at Apple.

    That's a bittersweet reminder of my Roman Catholic upbringing. Whenever I did something good like played the trombone well or scored well on a test, I was instructed to pray to Jesus for working through me to do something so good. Whenever I screwed up, well, all those powerful forces like God and the Devil were suspiciously absent and the fault was solely mine.
