Ikea is like McDonald's
Its fucking everywhere and always has the same shit. Take our living room for example. Notice the lovely white zebra stripe area rug? How about the three-in-one wodden picture frame or the single picture frame on the dresser? Also must have items. Ikea floor lamp anyone? I even saw a television stand I owned in a previous life about 5 or 6 years ago in the local Ikea. They had the same stain avaliable as well.
Anyone ever see the moive Fight Club?
Jack:
"There's always that. I don't know, it's just...when you buy furniture, you tell yourself: that's it, that's the last sofa I'm gonna need. No matter what else happens, I've got that sofa problem handled. I had it all. I had a stereo that was very decent, a wardrobe that was getting very respectable. I was so close to being complete..."
Tyler:
"Right. We're consumers. We're by-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty -- these things don't concern me. What concerns me is celebrity magazines, television with five hundred channels, some guy's name on my underwear. Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra..." "Fuck Martha Stewart. Martha's polishing the brass of the Titanic. It's all going down, man! So fuck off, with your sofa units and your green stripe patterns. I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let's evolve and let the chips fall where they may. But that's me, I could be wrong, maybe it's a terrible tragedy."
