Disgusted with Ikea

[stigmundfreud]

Having taken this week off to finish decorating the home, I bought a load of picture frames from Ikea. I've been using their frames for a while now as frankly, for 8 quid, they are superb.

However I am considering a boycot of their products based on the quite frankly disgusting sexism they portray in their instruction booklets:



OK so I was actually doing the frames exactly as the bloke with the big X through him was but that is some blatant sexism

Please tell me they are genuine instructions

The one on the left is Sven with moobs.

Does that mean "don't put your willy through the slat"?

What real man would look at the instructions anyway, what's the problem

The woman is actually holding a large magnifying glass, not a picture frame. You can see she has discovered two stray hairs on her table and now she can clean them off.

Surprising one of them isn't black (can I say black?)... but then I don't think they have any in Finland.

They could at least have used the same person in both diagrams though.

Oh I agree, it was the OH that pointed it out (I was doing it as per the man in the image above)

Fair enough! Pretty funny none the less, when I saw the second pic I thought that's exactly how I would have done it!]

Don't laugh, don't laugh at all.

Just checked my Ikea meatballs in the freezer..no instructions at all!! So I've drawn a pic on the wrapping of Mrs Glocko slinging them in the oven!

Your attempt to be PC has been slightly undermined by blaming the wrong country for IKEA.
