What do Hate Groups Think About J-Law?

Everybody loves Oscar-winning Kentucky native Jennifer Lawrence, right?

How can you dislike the charmingly candid and brassily sassy young A-lister?

Well, Jamie Lee Curtis Taete of Vice’s Fightland (no, I have never heard of them either) put J-Law’s popularity to the ultimate test:  asking disgustingly-bigoted hate groups — such as the Nazi party, the Westboro Baptist Church and the League of the South — their opinions of the actress.

The result?  Hilarity.  Here’s an excerpt:

THE WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH 

Who are they?

Those guys who show up whenever anything sad happens with signs about how much God hates good things/loves bad things.

What do they think about Jennifer Lawrence?

VICE: What do you guys think of Jennifer Lawrence?
Steve Drain, Westboro Baptist Church: You talking about the Hunger Games woman?

Yeah, that’s the one.
You want a statement on Jennifer Lawrence? From the Westboro Baptist Church?

Yes, please. 
I don’t know enough about her. You know, we focus on things that we see in front of us. I haven’t really taken a look at Jennifer Lawrence from a religious perspective or from a how-great-of-an-actress-she-is perspective. But I was taking a tour at NBC when I was in New York, and she was practicing a skit for Saturday Night Live.That’s about as much as I know about her.

Oh. So you got to see her in real life?
I think that’s who they told me it was. I didn’t even really know what she looked like until I started seeing trailers for Silver Linings Playbook.

You didn’t see Silver Linings Playbook yet?
I didn’t see it yet, I’d like to see it! I’ve been kinda busy picketing. I saw some of the movies nominated for Best Picture, though. What was the one with Ben Affleck?

Argo.
Yeah. That was a good flick. I feel good for Ben Affleck because he was kinda on the out, you know what I mean?

Yeah. So you guys are into Ben Affleck?
No, man. You’re looking for some kind of a salacious quote to put in your story. All I’m saying is that I thought Argo was a darn good flick.

OK. But what about Jennifer Lawrence?
OK. Jennifer Lawrence… I think that most of the young people in our church saw Hunger Games. And I think they all liked that… She just kinda bursted onto the scene, didn’t she? She doesn’t have a very long film career, does she?

She got nominated for some awards a couple of years ago for Winter’s Bone.
Oh! That’s her? Winter’s Bone rocked! That was a great flick.

Yeah.
I like Winter’s Bone quite a bit. I think she did a very nice job there. Yep.
