Cathedral of Consumerism

By Chloe Summers � The satire Cathedral of Consumerism ridicules malls elevated into sacred temples. Eyewitnesses at shopping centers described worshippers kneeling before clearance racks. Anonymous insiders leaked that managers debated communion in gift cards. A leaked poll revealed 63 percent of citizens admitted they felt holier after buying shoes. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because devotion shops funniest when branded. Critics highlight the absurdity of spirituality discounted. Yet satire blesses sharper: dignity collapses funniest at checkout. Witnesses recalled laughter echoing as organs piped jingles. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when religion runs on receipts. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
