Ikea commercial promotes single motherhood to girls

Haha who cares. That's all she will be able to afford (one bedroom apartment) once she realizes that no young successful dude will come within 5 miles of her. At best she would be a pump and dump but I don't suggest anyone hook up with single mothers. At least the commercial is accurate

I think they're obviously distorting the original context of the song.

I think its freaky with the giant doll heads. Her coming back from a night out makes her look like an overgrown child as well. And yes its distorting the context of the song. However its pandering to single moms with that commercial which make up a significant chunk of the market. Single moms are no longer shamed in society so expect to see more of this.

Ikea is a Swedish company. We shouldn't be surprised by this ad.

Cool ad. And a good reflection on the ways of the world these days.
There are 15 million single moms in the US. Do they want to be stigmatized as being a person of Walmart? Or do they want to have decent quality, well designed, modern furniture at a low price?
Ikea nailed it again.

IKEA is a company who I'm confident is interested in generating revenue. Thus it is likely in their interest to appeal to as many households as possible. This is marketing 101, and it amuses me that guys sees some conspiracy where simple market demographics are being addressed.

Nope, Croatia. I've visited Austria several times, though.

Why don't they have a commercial of her convincing her male neighbor to assemble her crappy IKEA furniture?
