Another thing you didn't know about Ikea:

11. They export a lot of jobs to...the United States! Why? Because US workers start at $8/hour vs. $19/hour in Sweden and US workers get 12 paid days off (including holidays) vs. 5 weeks in Sweden.

Follow the $.

Seriously though, this was a great idea and was probably killed by a relative of the guy who killed Firefly.

My expectations were high until I read that it would be non-functional. :(

Raw onions....bleh.

Not having watched this pitch, I'm guessing it's produced by Goldman Sachs as a marketing tool to their clients.

I'll give you $50 for the volume "V".

Sounds like the guy who called up NBC sports because they added a soundtrack of bird noises to a golf game. Only problem was the birds they added weren't indigenous to the location of the golf game.

"So far two residents have defied the order, to no legal consequence"

As Italy follows Greece, expect the legal consequence to be a new tax on the surviving relatives.

I agree with Torkel. Kutcher just doesn't fit the roll at all and, even if he did, he is a terrible actor in any case. He is a death sentence for anything associated with him.

The reason you want to watch what words you use is that words can be powerful and using them without cause can drain them of that power. Words like pedophilia, racism, etc., will continue to be taken seriously only as long as they are not diluted with things that don't fit the definition.

So....be careful of the words you use, keep them soft and sweet. You never know, from day to day, which ones you'll have to eat.

Squirrels: fluffy-tailed rats.

I could do that if I wanted to. I just don't want to....
