As you've probably heard, anti-everything bigot Fred Phelps finally passed away. Moore Liquor, home of the funny marquee sign pictured above, celebrated by offering a 10% discount on champagne.
From super hot Erielle Reshef at KOCO.com:
A liquor store owner in Moore made his views of Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps known Tuesday with a sign outside his business.
“People have really responded positively to it,” Moore Liquor owner Bryan Kerr said.
The sign reads in block letters: “Fred Phelps 1929-2014, Champagne 10% off! Not a coincidence.”
The leader of one of the most controversial congregations in the country died March 19. Kerr said Phelps’ death is cause for celebration.
“Champagne is a celebratory drink and so that’s why we gave 10 percent off,” he said. “If they choose to celebrate the passing of a little hate from this world, they can do so and we’re happy to oblige here at Moore Liquor.”
Yes, that sign made the local news. I wish I was in the KOCO production meeting when the story was pitched.
