Correct, But Not Politically

Start the week off right
and attend the church of your choosing.
- Bumper Sticker

How politically correct can you get... and still get it wrong?

While most bumper stickers are known for speaking nuggets of truth, this one tries, and fails, at balancing on the ever slipery path of political correctness. A few obvious mistakes: the word "church" needs changing, maybe "place of worship" would work, and "attend", doesn't that imply the biased view that after finding your choice of faith's "meeting house" you should continue going to that same "religious assembly"? Another question: who's to say that starting the week off right is done by attending a "religious meeting"?

Conclusion:

No matter how we attack this ridiculous bumper sticker there is something to be said for the owner; he actually had a message on his vehicle. The moral to the tale is: put a nice and attractive bumper sticker on a nice and attractive vehicle with a nice attractive scripture or saying that expresses exactly the, according to political correctness, not-so-nice-or-attractive truth.
