The Westboro Baptist Church, of picketing everything fame, has decided that Ole Miss deserves a picketing for something related to a football idol and the movie "The Blind Side". It's unclear exactly why they're targeting Ole Miss because the person who updates the schedule on their website writes as though they've been trapped in the purple reading comprehension group since the first grade (only 12 more stars until orange!).
Per their official schedule:
"Another idol of Doomed USA is Ole Miss, your football idol, featured in movie, “The Blind Side.”
So, as I understand it, Ole Miss is another idol, but THE football idol of Doomed USA (sounds like a scary place!). ABOUT TIME WE WERE NUMBER ONE IN SOMETHING.
However, to Westboro's credit, they are correct in that Ole Miss was featured in "The Blind Side" in the form of an Ed Orgeron recruiting pitch and Tim McGraw and Sandra Bullock occasionally saying "Ole Miss." And maybe Kathy Bates said it too. I can't remember because seriously that movie was awful.
Anyway, even though lacking clarity for their reason, Westboro will be at Ole Miss going through their routine of yelling and holding their terrible signs. And because I don't want to see picket signs that don't make any sense – WOULDN'T THAT BE EMBARRASSING – I've put together a list of some Ole Miss football idols that might make a more understandable angry sign.
Well, assuming they mean football is an idol at Ole Miss, which culminated in the making of "The Blind Side", which is the most devil-worshiping of all the devil-worshipping football movies out there. Again, I'm not totally clear on their focus because I don't speak purple group reading comprehension.
