People attempting to access an extreme anti-LGBT Christian website will instead land on a hardcore gay porn website, all because of a web-savvy Reddit user.
The anonymous person was attending the Carolina Rebellion heavy metal music festival in the US, when he spotted an anti-gay protester on a grass verge outside the enclosure.
The man was clutching a poster reading: “There is no relief in hell! WarningsofWrath.com".
Visiting the WarningsofWrath website, the Reddit user noticed the domain had expired even though it was still being advertised on placards.

“Fair?” the user asks on the Reddit post.
