Video: Westboro Baptist Church's Parody of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face"

Stop the Grammy presses, everyone! Is there any way we can get this gem as a write-in on the Best Single ballot? You're crazy for this one, Phelps!

[Sorry guys, the video's been taken down. But I still have the stills, and I'll try to find a version that's not just the music - Ed.]

Wow. Wowwwwwwwww. Can we please take a moment to analyze some of these lyrics? Because I have a feeling they'll be part of our cultural lexicon for decades.

Russian roulette is what you're playing, silly clod / But every chamber's loaded when you're playing with your God"

What we learn from this is one, that we desperately need to bring back the word "clod" as a popular insult, and two, that God plays dirty and wants you to shoot yourself in the head.

Guys, I'm so serious when I say this is the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time. This is some high-camp brilliance right here (except for that shot of the World Trade Center, which is obviously beyond the pale and reminds us all that these people are just the worst). You know how some people go so far to one side with their political beliefs they circle around to the other one? Can you do that with homophobia? I mean, look at this and tell me this isn't some of the gayest shit ever:

I am laughing to the point of tears, I can't even tell you. I wondered if I could post this at all - increasing the views of the video, getting them more publicity, subjecting you to Megan Phelps' voice - but it doesn't really matter. I once saw these people in person, and the elder Phelps is nothing more than a doddering old man who can barely hold up a cardboard sign. They may not know it, but they're nothing more than a living parody of those who fight against gay rights, and do little more than push people away from their position by taking it to it's extreme conclusion. So I am more than happy to help.

And I've said it before, but I'll say it again: fiiiiiiiiiiiiierce, Megan.
