The God-lovin’, gay-hatin’ folks at the Westboro Baptist Church tried something new for Whitney Houston’s funeral. Instead of showing up with their “Whitney in Hell” signs as promised, it seems that members simply Photoshopped themselves into the scene, then posted the picture on Twitter.

One Minute News correspondent Jennifer Martin offers this take on the nuttiness:

But is the WBC having the last laugh? Margie J. Phelps, the church’s de facto mouthpiece and daughter of founder Fred Phelps, is noting on her Twitter account that the press is giving them more press by posting the Photoshopped image than they’d ever rack up had they picketed. Touché, Phelps.
