“The hate-mongers of the Westboro Church are out with their profane placards in Cupertino today, as we said they would be,” Nicole Martinelli reports for Cult of Mac.
“Right now, they’re outside Cupertino High School, where Justin Li snapped this pic of a counter protester dressed in all black (is that a Jobsian turtleneck?) and sneakers with a sign making a mockery of the church member’s display,” Martinelli reports. “Later, Westboro has said it will try to ruin the Steve Jobs memorial service by brandishing the same trademark awfulness outside Apple headquarters in Cupertino.”
“But Apple fans are on the case. As you can see in the picture above, Apple fans are uniting to counter-protest Westboro’s homophobic, hate-filled picketing,” Martinelli reports. “We don’t think even the counter-protesting is what Steve would have wanted, but you can hardly fault Apple fans for their anger. The memory of Steve Jobs’ legacy is widely cherished, and it is revolting that Westboro is trying to spread their off-topic bile through his memorial service.”

MacDailyNews Take: Hopefully, someone’s made up some signs that say, “Drink the Kool-Aid already!” They’re always good for a chuckle.
