  3. You must watch the one they have in Turkey right now! It is totally homophobic! A little boy (about 8 yrs old) comments on Ikea kitchen and gives “expert” ideas to his mum. While he is doing this, his dad freaks out and says “hey, boy come on! we will watch football with you” Then the commercial reassures everybody as we see the boy with his “girlfriend” and she says I will marry you if you buy me a nice kitchen! So we all understand why this little boy was interested in Ikea kitchens!
    Vomit!!
