Westboro Baptist Church says it will picket Elizabeth Edwards' funeral
because the media will be there.

You know what's weird.  Westboro Baptist Church does outrageous things to get attention from the media and the media give them attention because they do outrageous things.

They're like the Dennis Rodman of Christianity.

How do you break the cycle?  It's hard to stop paying attention.  It's possible, I guess.  What's more likely is that they won't seem so outrageous after awhile and something more outrageous will come along.
