I've only watched the Lady Gaga one so far (Ever Burn) But it was, honestly, the funniest thing I have seen online in over a year. I am working on downloading all of these so I can play them on my radio show. It looks like the are all copylefted (as far as I can tell)

(For anyone who doesn't know Westboro Baptist are the complete wingnut Christians at godhatesfags.com who go out and protest soldier's funerals and stuff)
Oh, it's a satire site.
That's one way of putting it. Westboro Baptist themselves are not a satire, hard as that is to believe if you actually listen to them, but those videos are indeed satires of popular music. I'm not sure why popular music redone by complete nutbag Christian Taliban types amuses me so much, but it really really does. The MP3's are difficult to download, but I am downloading them all. The sermons especcially should make for some lovely music.
Are there any of Dio songs? I noticed they protested or had planned to protest his funeral. Wondering if maybe they decided to desecrate a few of his songs as well.

Satan is "Prince of the Air"...so hardcore Xtian Talib-types have been anti-popular music for DECADES. When I was about 13-14 years of age, I sat at a CONFERENCE about this shit, where someone went line by line on a lot of music and videos (we actually had them by then), telling us why they were the work of The Devil.
Not to mention all the LP/cassette/now CD burning parties that they tend to have...
ETA: and yes, they did a section on backmasking as well...the poor Beatles...
I wonder if you play the Westboro shit backwards if God speaks to you?
Wouldn't it be fun to make that happen?
:lulz:
Now see, THOSE people really do know what God is like. A hateful, crazy bastard.

I have only had a chance to listen to a few so far, plus I don't know Dio's work very well. It certainly wouldn't surprise me but I haven't found one yet. I have downloaded 51 songs though (seems to be all of them aside from a straight gospel album) So a Dio parody being among them seems quite possible.
If it's not satire, then why is there a section on hatemongering?

Hatemonger is a documentary about the leader of the church. Reverend Fred Phelps. If these guys are satire they take it to a level that I deeply admire. I'm fairly certain they are for real though. They've gone out and picketed soldiers funerals, which I know is further than even the most dedicated satirists are generally willing to go.
I want to watch but anything to do with these assholes sends me into a rage.
:lulz:
169% lulz, right here in dis fread.
i watched, can't stop laughing.

You really can't even make a satire of these guys, they do it so well all on their own.
"F-f-fornication"
Just watched it.
I'm guessing that they're also Lady Gaga fans but don't want to admit it.

There is no way this is for real.
This is BEYOND Poe's Law. Far beyond. It's gotten so far beyond Poe's Law that it's become an inverse Poe's Law.

The Phelps are the best trolls in the history of the universe. They don't believe their own shit. Their whole purpose is to incite people enough to give them a reason to sue. Almost every single adult Phelps has a law degree.

Makes sense:
QuoteAdds Mark: "His attitude was always that school was bullshit, but you had to get As and get out so you could have the law degree. With that you could support and defend the church. "To say 'no' would have been the same as drafting-dodging during WWII: it was every kid's duty to enlist in the bar and protect our homeland against the evil that threatened from without."

This church Temple of Hate™ is very real and here in Kansas. They refuse to allow the graffatti painted on their church to be removed because to them it shows that they are right because all the fags are the ones doing it all. There is an organization here to kick him out of the state.

To: U.S Congress
This Petition is to hereby remove all pastoral rights of Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka Kansas, as well as shut down the Westboro Baptist Church due to severe hate crimes and racisim, slander, assault, threats, disorderly conduct, contempt of court, trespassing and other various illegal acts.
Fred Phelps and his 'congrigation' are menaces to soceity, the protest funerals of homosexuals, soldiers and anyone they feel like. The Westoboro Baptist Church's relgious views are extremely twisted and deserve to be shut down to the illegal acts it's members have carried out.
Fred Phelps is not a 'man of god', he is a man of hate and should not be allowed to preach what he thinks the 'word of god' is. Fred Phelps is a tyrant and a racist.

Much as I hate the WBC I can't support any efforts to censor them. Aside from the fact that it would deprive me of great amusement freedom of expression is one of the cornerstones of our society. Especcially repulsive expression

I read 'Addicted to Hate' the night before the Prop 8 protest in Jackson, MS, it got me nice and fired up to march around the state capitol building with about 100 people - epic, considering that this is Jackson, where the only reason they were unaffected by the recession is because the local government and economy are already in ruins and the most liberal educational institution in town gets funding to go to Washington D.C. and picket for pro-life. :horrormirth:
Strangely enough we didn't get flamed by passers-by except a bus full of baptists. I saw one of them clearly saying "Oh no, they are NOT-" as they drove by. I expected something along the lines of :mullet: or maybe even :memnoch:, but only got lots of :lulz:
