Westboro will find a way to be offended and picket your funeral.

I know there are some people who actually have those views, but sometimes it seems like Westboro is so over the top they are trying to satirize them.

A reporter once went undercover in the church, and what did they say when they thought the cameras were off? It wasn't "Oh boy, we got that media good.", it was exactly what they say normally. They have also been protesting events since the 90's. They aren't over the top, they are homophobes and bigots without the masks of politeness and the 'liberal' media trying to make them look acceptable.
