You might have heard of the Swedish midsummer tradition, the day when everybody in Sweden gets drunk and dance around a Maypole. Anyway, last year IKEA Germany produced commercials where they made fun of the swedes and their Midsummer tradition. The commercials got banned by the head office at IKEA Sweden (IKEA is a Swedish company).

    Im glad Im Swed living in Sweden. Ha ha all my Swedish friends laugh at this discusting Arabs and their fucking religon-crap. Arabs are really stupid. This vid is overexaggerated. Arabs are always molesting swedish girls at midsommer. Ive heard in Russia all homeless drunken ppl are Swedes and ther pets is arabs with blingbling crackpipes.

  • There is absolutely ...

    There is absolutely nothing offensive about this video whatsover! What is it with you Americans, you always seem to take everything 'literally'.

    No-one is insulting the Swedes here, or their country. It is just poking fun at 'extreme' stereotypes. All countries have stereotypes, and our own common sense tells us to take an open mind.

    Please, for goodness sake, lets not behave like all those radical muslims who got upset over that silly harmless mohammed cartoon. That was so petty :)

  • One of the lovely ...

    One of the lovely bits about the Scandinavian culture is their great appreciation of victimless humour. The Germans often choose to poke fun at someone in their jokes, as they have done here. Not only is this film unfunny, it's not even true! Scandinavians celebrate midsommer very differently as depicted here, and those of us who have repeatedly participated (I'm from the US)consider the occasion truly magical. Scandinavia is the single MOST civilised place on Earth.
