At Wings (Wednesday wing night at the Frob), the group in front of us in line were asking each other if "they'd seen this billion dollar couch thing". At the office, a customer asked me if I'D HEARD of it. Then, the traffic on the blog exploded and now A.P.T.N. contacted me to do a story on it. What started off as a joke, has now become somewhat of a conversation piece. Who knew?
Steph did.
This whole thing started off with her saying "Hey Jord, look at this..."
On the weekend I e-mailed IKEA and below is their response. Much to my surprise they just flat out admit it's a mistake.
"Hello Jordan,

In the mean time, your comments will be forwarded to the appropriate department to have this rectified.

You don't say . . .
The piece for APTN is tentatively scheduled for tomorrow night at 7pm if you feel like tuning in. It was filmed in our mansion during my lunch break today and features a guest appearance by a certain famous cat! You can guess which one . . .
To wrap up, if you want to get your "billion dollar" fun in while you can, I'd hurry up. IKEA are Swedish, and they don't mess around. This all comes at a great time seeing as how I'm reading "The Girl Who..." trilogy!

YES YES . . . the picture is painfully small, it's the best I could do.
I forgot to say Thank You to Townie, APTN, and the word of mouth from our friends for making this my first "significant" post in a year!
I posted it on my Twitter and it was "retweeted" a few times so yay, I had something to do with the traffic to your blog! It's the only pride I have left, lol.
It would have been funnier if IKEA stood by their price or even explained it, but I'll take what they gave you. :P
must have missed something about IKEA.........the story is funny but probably funnier if I knew "the rest of the story"
