Ah hah... via Corsair, here's evidence that the IKEA "Unböring" ad campaign is getting more attention in critical circles than just from me.
Apparently the thrust of the campaign will be a bid to get people to treat furniture as something that's more "disposable"-- something you can endlessly trade-up, discarding your old crappy stuff. IKEA vigorously denies that they're trying to promote conspicuous consumption or planned obsolescence, but... well, I don't know if there's a good way to end that sentence without being entirely self-contradictory.
While I'm not yet sure about the sentiment, I still think the ad's brilliant.
