Westboro Baptist Rips Off, Pickets Ozzy Osbourne (AUDIO)

The funeral picketing business must be getting cold. Now WBC is going to picket Qzzy concerts.

The Westboro Baptist Church, the notorious Kansas congregation known for their stunt conservative-themed protests of high-profile funerals, has found a new target: 62-year-old rocker Ozzy Osbourne. Yes, Ozzy, who's now about as controversial as Michael Bolton (albeit after a long career that had some colorful highlights.)

Nevertheless, the Westboro Baptist Church -- which is led by the decidedly controversial 81-year-old Fred Phelps -- reports there's much to fear from Osbourne, a reality show comedy foil and cellular phone pitchman. In a flier the church is currently distributing in Kansas City, MO ahead of Osbourne's scheduled concert there Saturday night, Westboro says unequivocally that "God hates Ozzy Osbourne."

Like God gives a shit. Yeesh. Ozzy doesn't like these yingyangs, but it remains to be seen what his fans will do. Probably don't know what WBC is and couldn't care less. OTOH, might bite their heads off. Heh.

WBC has its own parody of Crazy Train. As much as I dislike those bastards, this portion of the lyrics is, strangely, pretty close to how I feel about the right wing:

You listen to preachers, your leaders are fools
You're raping false prophets, who make their own rules
The base is ascending, to rule and control
The media sells it, and you pay the toll

Go read this for laughs. Be sure ta hit the 'Wierd Al' link. Heh.

"Ozzy Scream Tour 2011" (w/special guest Slash) is coming to Reno next week. I wonder if his new WBC groupies will follow him?
