The result of this stunt is a website featuring short videos of Mark's adventures inside the IKEA that we felt were just little too irritating to actually watch, but maybe you'll like them.
Living in IKEA does sound sort of fun, though, we have to admit. That's probably why they're selling houses in Europe.

This makes me think of Geoff Nicholson's novel Everything and More...except with permission, which is kind of lame.
]]>@PassionateConsumer: Target!!! But they already made a movie about that.
]]>They could have at least warmed up his voice a little before starting the shoot. Oh, and maybe warned the employees they'd have to endure hugs from him. (Is that employee harassment?)
Cringe-inducing about sums it up. Ugh.
]]>....And today we cancelled the news to bring you this story from the Ikea marketing department.
This is CNN.
How many legitemate news stories had to die so that this could go on the air?
]]>Boring!
And I actually like the Colbert Report. Ho hum.
]]>i should get a discount if the sofa i buy has already been slept on.
@mercurypdx: nah, he just stashes the penthouse under the cusions when customers walk by......nevermind the crumpled tissues stuffed in the cusions either.
]]>*falling* asleep
]]>@tange1:
Within a 20 min driving distance from my house there must be at least 3 - 5 Walmarts. Most of the Walmarts the workers are complete A-Holes. But the one near my house the workers are the nicest people.
My wife and I go to the friendly Walmart every saturday night at around 1am in the morning. Then we usually spend about 5 hrs there (especially because I'm a shopoholic. I have always told the nice manager there that if they put in a kosher retaurant (I'm jewish and all they have there is a McDonalds which is against my religion to eat there because the food is not kosher) and they put in beds there I would GLADLY sleep there. By the time we leave the store there at around 6am my wife and I are fallins asleep.
If I was stuck having to sleep at a store it would be at Walmart. They have everything that a person could possible want. :-)
]]>So what would everyone's preference be, in terms of a business to live in/at for a week? I'm thinking:
1) UPS (delivery truck/RV option)
2) Starbucks (with their new 'customer experience' focus, what better way to say we love customers than to let them stay 24/7? And some have couches)
3) My local Sears (no one shops there, no one would notice)
... what about costco, you could be locked up all alone in one of their warehouses and still make a comfty living for two or three years, although, half way through the second year, its gonna be cereal or canned goods.
]]>I wouldn't want to end up rearranged for economical flat packaging!
]]>Thank you.
Ikea Corporate Services

]]>Had he ever hugged anyone before? ...didnt think so
]]>That'd be the Nissan Sentra. After seeing that commercial about 120 times when I was catching up on Heroes on NBC's website has pretty much made up my mind to never, ever buy a Nissan anything.
]]>Living in an ikea house sounds fun? Do I have to assemble the entire thing with a flimsy hex key?
(Man I am so late on that joke...)
]]>Yeah at walmart you pry still could get lead tainted crap there. so risk your life and live at walmart, what fun.
]]>I'd rather live at Walmart. :-)
