		<description><![CDATA[<p>A spectacle of sex, God and hatred broke out in Times Square this afternoon. Dozens of protestors gathered to demonstrate against representatives of Westboro Baptist Church, who were in town, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/18/westboro-baptist-church-times-square-counter-protesters-block_n_2503813.html">apparently</a>, to protest a memorial honoring the Internet activist Aaron Swartz.</p>
<p>Only two WBC protestors showed up, and were cordoned off in a six-by-six foot pen near the corner of 45th Street and Broadway, where they preached, we think, a message of God's hatred, or something along those lines.</p>
<p>Members of the Anonymous faction <a href="http://motherfuckery.org/">Motherfuckery</a> were among the counter-protestors, gathering in a cordon of their own and chanting phrases such as "Walrus, walrus" and "suck my dick" at the WBC protestors.</p>
<p>Other demonstrators included a troupe of actors from the <a href="http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/12/let-my-people-come-is-coming-back-to-new-york/">burlesque musical</a> <em>Let My People Come</em>, and a larger group of more earnest protestors, who insisted in song that God loves us all.</p>
