Westboro
Baptists Target EuroDisney
by Xenia Schiller
Westboro Baptist Church made international news last week after
being freed from the Charles DeGaulle airport where they’d
been trapped en route to EuroDisney. Wreckered has the exclusive.
“God hates the tardy, amen,” Pastor Phelps, leader
of the Westboro Baptist Church, explained, “but He also hates
Newark, and so do we, because we missed our connecting flight to
Paris. The French lost our luggage, and then claimed not to understand
what we were saying. How convenient! If there’s one thing
God can’t stand it’s the man who ignores the battle
cry of the righteous.”
Babylon
“It was total modern-day Babylon,” Mrs. Phelps said
of the atmosphere. “The signs were all in French. If they
want us to come here, they should make the signs in American. We
were wandering inside that God-forsaken airport a whole week waiting
for someone to help us.”
When asked if he felt their false imprisonment was a sign from god,
Pastor Phelps agreed. “We could have spent our vacation among
the Mickey Mouse-idolaters but clearly God had bigger plans for
us.”
Monorail
God’s plan was not immediately obvious to all. One congregant,
who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed he and three women
rode the tram all week believing it was a monorail. “We just
thought it was a really boring park. You know Europeans. But there
were a lot of people in line for the ride, so we took our chances.”

Concessions Expensive
“Truly an abomination” confided a member
who refused to accept she hadn’t been to Disney. “The
concessions were so expensive. And none of the ladies shave. God
hates the hirsute!”
One parishioner disagreed. “The airport did not disappoint.
There were a lot of people screaming at us, attacking our signs.
It was like any other vacation, except with more seating and security.
Oh, and Starbucks, but God hates capitalism.”
Redemptive Suffering
“If you doubt the French are a godless people, you have
only to look at the perverse exchange rate,” said Pastor
Phelps, in summary. “I believe our time was penance. Not
for our sins, but for those of others. Redemptive suffering. We
paid the price for all those who tolerate homosexuality.”
When asked who was saved as a result of their week long tribulation,
Pastor Phelps had no comment.
