Adam Hills lashes out at church threatening to picket Robin Williams funeral

Video: "You don't disrupt a funeral. A person died, his family is in mourning, it's not about you d***head," says Hillsy.

On his UK show The Last Leg, Adam Hills has lashed out at the Westboro Baptist Church, following their (ridiculous) claim they will picket the funeral of Robin Williams, because the late comedian had portrayed gay characters on screen.

Hills let fly saying, “Firstly, regardless of your religious beliefs, you don’t disrupt a funeral. A person died, his family is in mourning, it’s not about you d***head.”

He proposed paying the air fares for the church members to fly to Iraq to defend their beliefs.

“If you really believe in standing up to those threatening the Christian way of life, Westboro Baptist Church, how about putting your money where your mouth is, taking a direct flight to Iraq and picketing the people threatening to behead Christians if they don’t convert?”

  1. this so called church have a membership of less than 40 people most of whom are family. they have no support and no influence yet the media still give them airtime. just ignore them.

  2. In the US there is now a strong understanding in the media to not give them any oxygen, there has been strong backlash against any outlets that have reported the recent robin williams picketing. Australian media and Adam hills seem very behind the times.

  3. Well I am notsurprised at all about this bloody church.

    Not the first time they have threatened to protest at a funeral, and probably won’t be the last.

    When their leader just recently, died, there were cries of please don’t protest at his funeral.

    The only reason why they say this, is it brings them free publicity.

    People need to remember, any publicity good or bad, is good publicity, for these so called church mob. It gets their faces in the media.

    Read between the lines I Say.

  4. Michael Young-You said it perfectly!
    These people are un Christian, a waste of oxygen & utterly despicable & vile. I hope their day of judgement comes….

  5. Maybe some people should picket outside Westboro Baptist Church with signs saying: “Westboro Baptists are un-Christian bigots!” … but then, why stoop to their level of incredible ignorance.

  6. Gee, where would the world be without Hills’ unfunny, fake outrage? A real hot-button issue, this one! I’m sure many people sympathised with this obscure, fringe, publicity-hungry group of nutters… That was until the wonderful, thoughtful Adam Hills came along to inject some sanity (and give them some publicity). He’s doin’ it for all of us you know.
