Whoops, there is an I missing from the title. Could you fix that? It should read IKEA’s. Sorry.
Maybe they meant it as a Polish joke?
No big surprise. Last time I went shopping at IKEA, at least 25% of the couples there appeared to be homosexuals.
I hate IKEA, not because of the homosexuals, but because their furniture sucks.
So are teen pregnancy, drug addiction, internet addiction, and identity theft. When will their ad campaigns take these facts of life into consideration?
Hi Ian, Hi Steve.
You should get better furniture.
Ian and Steve, the ad says, have no intention of having children, but enjoy their command centre IKEA kitchen and herb garden.The ad tells customers, Family life is changing ... Welcome to the new era.
"Family life". A couple is not a family.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/family
"parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling together or not.""the children of one person or one couple collectively: We want a large family."
"the spouse and children of one person: We're taking the family on vacation next week."
"any group of persons closely related by blood, as parents, children, uncles, aunts, and cousins: to marry into a socially prominent family."
"all those persons considered as descendants of a common progenitor."
And then it gets into households that include the servants, hippie communes, office teams, mafias, and scientific groupings.

Nothing about two guys who pair up for sex and gardening.
Oh wait, I get it now. Mafia. As in Lavender Mafia. They are a “family”.
I like this, an appeal to their business sense:
“The letter warns IKEA that the drop in the birth rate will affect the companys future business in Poland. “
You would think that a corporate giant would understand that catering to a group not known for prolific offspring would eventually cut into their bottom line.
They are into short term profits. DINKS (dual income, no kids) have more disposable income.
Learn something every day. DINKS, hmm? That must mean for most of my life we’ve been OIMKs, and before the first baby was born we were OINKS!
You would think they would know better than to put such an ad in Poland of all places. I really hope Poland stands strong and doesn't tolerate the new European New-Think. But as the post following yours said, IKEA is just looking at the short term profit from DINKs.
Shouldn’t it be “Adam and Steve” not Ian?
Huh. There’s just something natural about a company that sells fiberboard promoting the gay lifestyle.
Well, looks like I’ll need to buy real furniture the next time I move.
Screw IKEA.
The Parliament threatened to take the country to the international courts for failing to implement the homosexualist agenda in its laws.
Yeah? And what are they going to do to Poland?
Invade them and force them to accept the wee sodomites? Just what power does this “court” have without the consent of people?
Poland gets a medal for telling them to bugger off.
[....yeah, I know that court is coming here and real freakin soon.]
Compared to the vast horrors inflicted upon Poland by the Nazis and the Soviets, this pattycake criticism by EU parliament must to the Poles have all the force of a wet noodle.
Warsaw Uprising, anyone? Homofascism is pale and puny next to the real thing.

Yup, the EU is doing it's best to turn Europe into a cesspit of moral relativity [sic], pushing the homosexual agenda, abortion and similar depravity on every country. Fortuantely Poland so far is withstanding the onslaught.
Odd how the many Nazis and indeed, the Nazi philosophy, had a strange connection to homosexuality - and the agenda itself, which was fomented in pre-war Germany. In the 1930s and IIRC even before, in other parts of Europe such as Italy, homosexuality was called “The German vice”.
Hopefully the EU will dissolve eventually and become nothing.
Ian & Steve have to be mock homosexuals. The real ones I know wouldn’t be caught dead at Ikea.
I guess they’re faux gay!
“The German vice” (homosexuality as seen by other Europeans)
Now that is `verrrrrry interesting’!
Widespread homosexuality in the Waffen S.S. has been documented on the History Channel, using some rather disgusting archival footage.
“The Pink Swastika” can be read online as another source.
Anyway, the EU should wither away just like the `Holy Roman Empire’ that preceded it.
