Church as upper-middle-class lifestyle accessory.

by Philocrites

Ouch! The Onion mocks the New York Times Sunday Magazine and all its metro imitators, their brunch-loving readership, and Unitarian Universalism (perhaps only indirectly) in a wonderful parody of educated upper-middle-class preferences. Yes, that is a picture of the First Unitarian Society of Madison's Frank Lloyd Wright-designed church — home of the largest UU congregation in the U.S. — on the mock-magazine cover promoting a story about "finding a religion that doesn't interrupt your current lifestyle." (Thanks, TB!)

Also in The Onion: "This American Life completes documentation of liberal, upper-middle-class existence."
