Challenging Expectations
This woman makes a cheeky fashion statement by wearing a blue shirt with the words “I can’t… I’m a Mormon,” which is a play on the well-known beliefs and customs of the Mormon religion. The clever and playful juxtaposition between her sincere religious beliefs and the playful suggestion that she should abstain from certain “sinful” activities is what makes this situation funny.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormonism, places a high priority on moral principles, the family, and religion. It does not always prescribe what people cannot do but promotes moral behavior and adherence to a set of values.
