This isn’t the first time shoppers at Ikea have come to blows.
It’s not pretty, people threatening each other with mallets at an Ikea opening. Four people were injured. But you know what? Ikea’s opening night special: a three-seat leather sofa for £45 (around $70), or a £30 double-bed frame, is insane. So 6,000 people surged through the doors at once to scoop up these deals. At those prices, it’s practically looting. No wonder people get excited.
We love us some Ikea here in the Tri-State area too. But maybe there should be non-violence training before they open the doors.

Or they should pass out the foam mallets… and then, in true simpsons style, we take the foam off and hit each other with the pipe underneath.
Yay, BM!
Actually, I could not figure out from the Guardian article where they were getting mallets from. Maybe they sell them. But no matter, if they stop providing mallets, customers may hurl swedish meatballs and crispbread at one another.
IKEA…I’m supposed to hate it, right? Isn’t that what one of the rules of Fight Club is?
But it’s soooo cheap…
