Fighting Fire with Fabulous Summary
The article Fighting Fire With Fabulous describes the plans of the Dambacher brothers to create a movement against intolerance. The show will take place in the nation's center for intolerance, Topeka, Kansas. Topeka, Kansas in the center for the Westboro Baptist Church started by Fred Phelps back in 1955. This church group is a group that protests against the LGBT community, people of color, fallen soldiers, and many more groups of people. The Dambacher brothers plan to film a TV show in the heart of this hateful community. This TV show will be about someone who fits the stereotype of the people of the WBC community, This person will be outed by the WBC and become involved with a "freaka" group of people, or people who the WBC community protest against. The goal of this TV show is to maybe bring light to the people of the WBC, but more importantly to help fight their movement. The Dambacher brothers want to "fight the fire" and help these people understand how absurd intolerance is, and that the views of intolerance are views of the past. Overall, I believe the motives of the Dambacher brothers are good. Intolerance is unacceptable in today's community and anyway to help the WBC community to understand that can be considered a good thing. I dont know if it is ethical though. The parody of the TV show and the almost "rubbing it in their face" attitude is somewhat stooping down to their level. The movement may even spark a flame in the WBC community and make their hatefulness increase tenfold. Hopefully, near into the future, the WBC community will be eliminated completely.
