Anyone Else Tired Of Seeing The Chick With The Chainsaw???


I know that I am!!!! It is becoming counter productive as far as advertising goes. Not that it was productive in my World to begin with. But now I am starting to TRULY dislike IKEA!

How bout you?

That ad is really getting annoying. I'm not sure what the point of it is, because it doesn't seem that positive for Ikea.

Its about "making the best use of YOUR limited space". Use a chainsaw or use IKEA.

I would like to use a chainsaw on IKEA!

I guess that ads bring alot of $$. However, it slows down or consumes lots of server bandwidth because of its high-size video content/download whenever main pages refresh.

It is better if you know who that installer on her knees is.

That is Susie Namba, wife of John Namba WFCA and CFI guru. She can install circles around most men, and has way more knowledge of flooring then I do.

It is just so repetitive and annoying to boot! I just needed to see if I was the only one who was negatively effected!! It is good to see that I am not alone and not completely without reason!

One for the Moderators................Apparently this ad is effective! Gets IKEA (Ingvar Kamprand Elmtaryd Agunnaryd for those who do not know.........) noticed. Might not be positive attention, but as Madonna once said, all publicity is good publicity!!
