How many goths does it take to build some fine Swedish furniture?
Ikea runs an advert that a particular product will brighten up your dorm room, "unlike a creepy gothic roommate, who can be a bad influence."

Gothfash, the lj goth fashion community reacts predictably, with a post titled, "I am outraged by this and I am going to write a letter."

Don't miss the derrogatory useage of the word 'norms' and how the oppression of the pasty, whiney, and emmaciated is ABSOLUTELY LIKE the systemic racism directed at African Americans!

The icing on the cake is that the OP,

mme_archel is community mod and owner.

Thanks to a mouse for the head's up!

	Like a joke that was funny for about three days if only due to seeing all the posters strewn across the floor of the Humanities building and there really should've been fanfic or something but then it was kind of boring? (Reply to this)(Parent)
