TOPEKA, KS – On the same day that Fred Phelps’ body was found rotting in a chair in his upstairs office, members of the controversial Westboro Baptist Church announced that they would be picketing his upcoming funeral.

Phelps, born November 13, 1929, was the leader of the church — an organization that practices a strange, anti-homosexual version of Christianity that has been known to protest at celebrity and military funerals.

The pastor’s daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper, was the first to discover the 83-year-old’s body.

“We haven’t brought dad out to very many protests for a few years now,” said Phelps-Roper. “In fact, it’s been quite a while since even we had seen him. Once he starts on a marathon of old Growing Pains episodes, we just leave him alone until he comes down.”

“He always loved Kirk Cameron,” she added.

There is nothing here saying the article is not real. I guess the writer presumes ‘everybody knows’ what the Duffle website is all about.

You are right
I had never heard of the Duffle site
and if you read the first posts it appears those posters did think it was real

I think it’s hilarious, some people on here don’t see it yet that it is satire

Duffel Blog is a somewhat vulgar site, but they just outdid themselves on this one :)

I was waiting for the mentioning of having a paid subscription to Lisa Welchel’s page or something...

I always wished someone would have done a drive by on those people , with several mac 10’s , and just mowed them down . That would have been sweet .
