Ha! Its just advertising how low their prices are, if you can’t figure out thats what it means I think you should worry about more than their commercial.

I would say that if people are going to get excited about that commercial they should walk in to Ikea, go up to a cashier and purchase a sense of humour. More importantly we should discuss the commercials, media and whatever else it is that makes people think it’s okay to wear your pants lower than your underwear. I think this is WAY more detrimental to society as a whole…

No, I don’t think this Ikea ad in anyway promotes shoplifting. It shows a sort of ‘goody two shoes’ woman who has probably never done a dishonest thing in her life thinking she just might be getting away with something. It’s humourous because the woman in the ad is so over-the-top that she’s not believeable as a real person. I’ve always seen it as a fun commercial that always gives me a giggle.

How does this promote shop lifting?
From what I remember, she pays & gets
a receipt from the cashier. Is this
really going to turn some impressionable
mind into a criminal? Would commercials
full of love and happiness stop our
wars in far away countries?

I’ve always hated this commercial for that very reason. I’m like: “That woman would really run away after getting that stuff so cheap? I’d go back and inform them of their error.” It makes me feel kind of bad about them.

Anyway..
…

yeah.

You “complainers” have WAAAAY too much time on your hands if your worried about a commercial being offensive and/or dishonest. It’s a COMMERCIAL. Take it as it’s suppose to be — A JOKE. Use your energy fighting for something that really matters! If commercials make someone shoplift from IKEA then Video Games make people kill and Metal music makes kids depressed and suicidal.….…..and if THAT’S true there are bigger issues at stake then the Ad Agencies choice of commericals.

OH, and the catalogue issue was an inside job. Not everyone got the catalogue with the dog sporting a large Johnson as some were published before the picture was noticed.

Come on — lighten up. It’s a cute ad. I love the one with the lamp left out on the street. Next thing, you’ll be complaining about cruelty to lamps.

I honestly just find the commercial annoying and overplayed, thats about it.

And Alex, I too heard that commercial add for madd and thought WTF, it had to be the stupidest thing ever.

Come on, that’s just a commercial, a funny one I must say. This is just to let people understand that the prices are so low, they will think they stole the merchandize. Volkswagen did the same thing the the Jetta build in Brazil sold for about 5000$ less than before.
