The story’s here, there’s followup here, and I found it here, with commentary I consider more or less spot on.
For the lazy: A student at the University of Central Florida left an on-campus Mass without eating his Jesus biscuit. Mayhem — including assault and death threats, and of course including apoplexy from fundies and mealy-mouthed commentary from halfwit university administrators — ensues. Note the absurd headlines and ledes in the Fox affiliates’ stories, by the way; they’d have us believe he was stealing something and holding it hostage, when in fact all he did was take something that was freely given and then not swallow it. Wack. O.
But wait! That’s not all!
Hot off the presses, from Fox: http://www.myfoxorlando.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail;jsessionid=0515623256993886F1013FEBC9A8D99D?contentId=6982855&version=2&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=1.1.1&sflg=1 Yes, some students apparently took Fox up on their invitation to file complaints with the university – he could be impeached! (We do that in this country?)
Bill Donohue is an ass, btw.
And yes, there is a line here between “this is kidnapping and extortion” and “I want to be able to do whatever I want, no matter if it tramples on someone else’s religious ceremony”. I will, of course, disqualify myself of an impartial judge of hyperbole. :-)
I was, however, interested to learn that you can use these crackers in black magic ceremonies. Maybe you get hungry afterward? C’mon, Fox news – you show footage of topless bars while expressing outrage about them, where’s the grainy shot of emo kids sitting around a fire with suspect crumbs on their shirts?
