What really frightens me is that, despite a quick scan of their page, I'm actually not sure that's fake. I *suspect* it's a take on their attitude towards homosexuality, but...
It's a photoshop job making fun of their attitude towards gays.
But yes, they really are stupid enough to try it about asians, if they suddenly decided that god hated yellow people and that being asian just meant that you hadn't repented the sins that turned you that colour, like the Mormons believe about blacks.
It's a fake, but it's a fairly adept fake. The giveaway is that "asian" doesn't line up with the other two words on the same line, and the billboard top is a bit blurred.
The sentiment behind the spoofing was impeccable, though. Intolerance of things like sexual preference are just as repugnant as intolerance of Asians.
