MOSCOW (AP) A furniture store has taken over a Moscow cinema, allowing theatergoers to enjoy what more closely resembles an enormous slumber party than an afternoon at the movies.
This week the Swedish furniture giant IKEA replaced a movie theater's seats with beds in its Russian "Awake Love" campaign. The switchover took place in the Moscow suburb of Khimki, not far from a branch of the store beloved by many Russians.
The campaign, which lasts until Dec. 14, is modeled after a similar event in 2010 at a Paris music hall.

Yuck!
It is bad enough when you have to use a seat with the sticky floor let alone a bed that is a er... sticky.

Just one more place to pick up bed bugs and other kinds of bugs.

I don't imagine there'll be a lot of slumbering going on. Not a lot of movie-watching, either.

How long before the beds become infested with bedbugs?

There was a contest some years ago that for “I have the worst job on the planet” or similar.
It ended early when someone who cleaned up the private screening rooms at the XXX theater chimed in.

I was reading on a thread here recently that a public library — I forget which city — was infested with bedbugs. Ewww.
Yeah, I am fussy enough about public seating. There is no way I would lie down and put my head where some stranger had been.

It’s all fun and games until they have to wake the audience up afterwards.

That’s not a bad idea. Russia is imploding demographically, and this just might do the trick to reverse that!
DANG!

Hey, what sort of movies do they show at this theater?Disney, no doubt. Audience members can "do it" to the strains of the hippopotamus waltz from fantasia.
