5.4.12 Ikea Idea

Just a though, Ikea, but I've had an idea that might help you save resources.  I am not too sure on the importance of full disclosure for items sold by your chain of warehouses, but I suggest that you are going slightly overboard with the labelling.

Take the example of this label, which was attached to one of your pillows.  On this one side, there are details in 31 fucking languages.  Now, I know Ikea is set on world domination, but the brainwashing surely does not have to include so many separate versions of the how much the cuntin' thing weighs.  So, the filling weighs 500g and the material holding it is 60g.  Whoop-de-cuntin-do!!!  19.5 x 10.5 cm - the label is obscenely big!

On the reverse, I learn that the outer fabric is 65% polyester and 35% cotton, and that the filling is polyester fibre balls.  I learn this in 31 languages, of course.  Unsurprisingly, 'Polyester' is recognisable in any of them!  Heaven forbid Ikea ever sells clothing, because if this scratchy fucking label was sewn into a T-shirt, it would be a killer.  Still, Ikea is unlikely to sell clothes for the simple reason that no-one would be able to choose the right size garment; walking round the horrendously long course from the entrance to the checkouts is enough to make you sweat and drop a size.
