After today's revelations about terror attacks in Sweden, AIBU to refuse to shop at a certain furniture shop which is clearly part of the problem with a name like AL IKEA? I believe that it's all part of a plot to cause us to become dependent on their meat balls and Billy bookcases.

I am also worried OP. Especially after the attack in DFS this morningSad

Prettybaffled · 19/02/2017 21:01

Op this is a typical example of the approach of main stream media failing to tell the true story.

Swedish stores are a very real danger and we are doing something about this with an immediate executive order banning Malm and Poang. These are bad guys!!

BoreOfWhabylon Did they put in an unsuccessful bid?

Bertrand plans clearly written in Isistani. Terror plans clear! Losers.

Not to mention the meatballs are clearly tainted with URANIUM, PEOPLE - Sweden has ALL THE BAD THINGS!

Guava, I think you'll find that it is not fake news. Rather, it is alternative facts...

GarrulousGrimoire · 19/02/2017 21:05

I don't think it's in poor taste, it's just as insane as that tony orange muppet so about perfect i'd say.

Hadn't realised the Pakistan link, that's actually made it fucking worse

Actually, I was in IKEA this morning and there was a code 99 in the living room section, I bet that was something very serious.

genuinely remembers being pissed off at the inconvenience of having to go home early when there were bomb scares in Derry and not understanding why we couldn't just go shopping in a different bit

Butteredpars1ps · 19/02/2017 21:12

It could actually be a conspiracy to give the penis owners of our species an excuse to avoid ikea...

WhispersOnTheWind · 19/02/2017 21:12

It would be funny if it weren't so frightening that this ignorant, fear-mongering, alt-right conspiracy theorists' wet-dream is the fucking President of the USA.
I keep self-soothing with the mantra '4 years. It's only 4 years' but the last 4 weeks have felt like an eternity and I'm not sure my nerves can stand it.

BAD THINGs could happen if you let them into your kitchen ..

You're so right op.

Those of you concerned about ops taste in humour probably need to park that and be more concerned about the fact that POTUS is a) a liar and b) exceptionally ill informed.

Laska5772 · 19/02/2017 21:15

.. they are the same sort of shape as WMDs.. dont you think?

Butteredpars1ps · 19/02/2017 21:17

mrwalkensir · 19/02/2017 21:19

I've used masking tape to tape my Billy bookcases and cd shelves like they did windows during WW2 - will this be enough? What do I do to the sofas and coffee table? Can't find any guidance online...

Laska5772 · 19/02/2017 21:21

Im buttering my Swedes into submission right now!!

SocksRock · 19/02/2017 21:21

Code 99 is a lost child...
