The Mormon Tabernacle Enquirer
Written by the staff of The Sugar Beet
Compiled and edited by Christopher Kimball Bigelow
Staffed by a team of crack reporters and columnists, The Mormon Tabernacle Enquirer reports the stories that are too offbeat, dangerous, and—worst of all—inappropriate for the mainstream LDS news outlets. Here's a sampling:
BYU Offers Scrapbooking Degree
Poll Reveals Majority of Men "Highly Satisfied" with Patriarchy
Gay Polygamists Make Bid for Legitimacy
All-Seeing Eye Proposed for Church Office Building
—Eric D. Snider, critic and blogger
"If a mature religion is one that can laugh at itself, then Mormonism is growing up. . . . Bigelow and his staff of Sugar Beet writers, whose identities are hidden behind ultra-Mormon pseudonyms, ferret out the delicious humor tucked away in Mormonism's quirkiest doctrines and cultural extremes. . . . A solid core of LDS (and LDS-raised) readers will find the Enquirer a tie-loosening, glue-gun-melting pleasure—and an excellent Christmas gift for friends and family."
—Publishers Weekly
"The Mormon Tabernacle Enquirer is tremendously entertaining. Since some say laughter is the best medicine, this book is the prescription. If J. Golden Kimball were still alive, he'd be cussing out the contributors while at the same time laughing his head off. As a member of the LDS Church, I find nothing wrong with laughing at myself and the quirks of LDS life."
—Alex Black, critic
"The Enquirer offers a hilarious look at Utah's predominant demographic."
—Aaron Zundel, Daily Utah Chronicle, University of Utah
