Last week here we brought you the scoop on Kevin Smith’s next movie, a horror film called Red State. The surprising thing about the film is the he says that it’s inspired by the homophobic leader of a real life church group named Fred Phelps. Sensing a slam dunk dose of insanity, the guys over at Pitch emailed his daughter with the news and sat back to wait for a response.
Phelp’s daughter Shirley responded, and her response was that she has no idea who Kevin Smith is, but we’re all screwed and the more anyone tries to prove that her dad’s a wacko the stronger her faith gets. It’s the whole Christian extremist persecution complex in full effect. Here’s some of what she had to say about Smith:
“What is Dogma, Clerks and Chasing Amy?
If you are saying that this guy Kevin blah, blah is making a movie and is making a bad guy in the movie and then he is saying that my dad is a bad guy - I say - boring! I would think by now that you earth dwellers would understand that we don't care what kind of pressure you bring to bear upon us and how much you speak evil of us when you know by our manner of life that we are the Servants of the Living God - that none of these things move us and if we gave a rat's tutu about what you think about us, this might work - but alas, we know you have no respect for God or man and in particular for yourselves, so why in this world would we want you to speak any other way about us? If you would bother to CRACK a Bible, you would know that all your hateful words and hard speeches against us are tokens in the bank, and evidence that we have the Love of God abiding upon us! Of course you could know this if you would CRACK A BIBLE!”
Sounds like Kevin picked a pretty good protagonist for his horror movie, doesn’t it? I’m scared already. Well done Kev. Read the rest of Shirley Phelps-Roper’s insane, condescending, religious propaganda here.

Dude I knew there was a reason I loved Kevin! Asides from the fact that he makes awesome movies! perhaps Shirley should CRACK a DVD and watch Dogma so she can chill the fuck out!

Pissing off nutjobs is like shooting fish in a barrel. I love it that Smith is screwing with delusional people.
