omg yes...if there is one thing i love in this world it's selfish materialism 
LOL, look, a disgruntled customer:
Must... have... couch... now!
that is the funniest shit i have ever read. although a $45 couch is pretty sweet...especially from ikea. they have nice stuff. but yes what does this have to do with americans? it took place in england.
Ikea has some pretty cheap stuff in it (though they are poorly built). Most other shops overly price their items, so it's understandable that people want to get in fast for a good deal.
Customers "behaved like animals".
Its survival of the fittest.
A guard next to me was punched by a customer. He had his jaw dislocated
hahahaha they'd kill for a burgain. Greed & desperation: pretty sad really!!

Sorry for the confusion.
My intention was to lure you in with the obligatory America bashing thread title, just to point out that Americans aren't the only dumb shits on the planet.
No, it doesnt really have anything to do with the US.

Hehe, this is quite funny. Sale in this country is mad... I dunno what it is like elsewhere, but hell breaks loose when the sale signs come out. Utter chaos.
Cyrus King was partly right with his "Death to all Humans" thread. This does illustrate the pure animal instinct which is innate in many people's character.
Hell, I'm an American and I'll make fun of our sense of geography. We are the least geographically inclined country in the nation. I would guess that's the case anyway. It's funny, and we should laugh at it. Not to be pricks, but because you should be able to laugh at yourselves. It's healthy.
See, there I go.
You don't have to be rich, just smart!
(Hot Dutch girl appears)
Chandler: Joey, where do Dutch people come from?
Joey: Uh oh...
Chandler: It's somewhere near the Netherlands right?
Joey: Pshh, nice try Chandler. The Netherlands is the magical place where Peter Pan and all the lost boys live.

Its not about america in general, its about living in a consumption society.
(The consumption society does originate from the US though.)
