One of the most notorious religious protesting groups, the Westboro Baptist Church, has done many things that people have thought of to be insane and extremely unnecessary. At first, they were being recognized through paper articles but over time as they became more notorious and news spread, television began covering their protests and ridiculous stories. Shirley Phelps, the wife of the leader of the church was even on fox news to talk about these things, and that of course turned into an argument. But the point here is, that digital imagery and technology are enabling this group to reach across the nation so people can hear them, whether it is good or bad, it is the technology that is giving these people publicity, and we all know that any publicity is good publicity.
See the video for an example.
