Thank You, Evil Swedish IKEA Man...

…for pulling a Family Guy and reaching into my childhood memories, pulling one of them out into the open, and raping it before my horrified eyes.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, watch TV tonight and wait for the latest IKEA kitchen commercial. It plays to the soundtrack of the Evil Swedish IKEA Man doing an obscene, accented spoken word version of the theme song from Diff’rent Strokes!!!!

There are few words that can describe my empty, paralyzed stare as I watched this monstrosity unfold on my TV screen…and NOW I CAN’T GET THE DAMN SONG OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

Thank you, Evil Swedish IKEA Man.

What’s next? A commercial about bedrooms, to a chanting version of The Facts of Life theme song?

Die, Evil Swedish IKEA Man…DIE!
