“I have to do something,” he said in the interview. “I'm not going to just let this disappear. It's just so darned weird that they're demanding that I offer this respect to a symbol that means nothing to me. Something will be done. It won't be gross. It won't be totally tasteless, but yeah, I'll do something that shows this cracker has no power. This cracker is nothing.”

I don't suppose he'd care to explain why he "has to do something" about this. And while I don't personally regard this item as anything other than a cracker, I think it's a whole lot less "weird" of Catholics to regard it as something else, than of Mr. Myers to head off into cyberspace asking that somebody "score" him a consecrated wafer, and then claim that he "has to . . . treat it with profound disrespect and heinous cracker abuse, all photographed and presented here on the web" because "they're demanding that I offer this respect to a symbol that means nothing to me". Ummm, somehow he missed mentioning where anybody demanded that he do anything at all with regard to these "crackers". Has somebody been scattering them in his path as he walks to class and demanding he alter his route to avoid stepping on them?

This reminds me of The Robe, where Caligula has a prisoner killed so he can try to use the Robe to bring him back to life. I think the Knights of Columbus should make things hot for the Golden Gophers.
