IKEA Shelves Sponsorship Plans

[Sports Prophet]

As swift as the St George Dragons made public the decision to pursue Israel Falou, IKEA have shelved talks of a sponsorship agreement with the Dragons which shares a home with one of IKEA’s major stores.

An IKEA statement was issued today citing difference in culture between the two organisations. “We are a proud organisation that strives to deliver fantastic household items for all Australians and IKEA have decided to end discussions of a corporate partnership with St George Dragons as the club has demonstrated no obvious respect or need for trophy cabinets in the foreseeable future.”

doh! 

Could have been true, though, given the impression created on here by so many antipodean Strop impersonators .

There’s quite a lot of shelving going on right here, maybe IKEA should sponsor the TRL General Forum

It's like that black & white film about two blokes and a woman John, "But it was not allowed." Only in french.

And did you pick up all the possible political intrusions or just mine John?

IKEA would be an excellent TGG sponsor, and getting all moral about the product or the origins involved is probably something RL can little afford right at this moment in history.

Or are morals and history banned from libraries, forums and general discussion too?

 

[JohnM]

Sense of humour failure, I see.

[JohnM]

The IKEA reference from earlier posts is strange. Their stuff is mainly fine, very popular, easy to assemble, and has brought modern furniture etc to many. Economy of scale, too, keeps prices reasonable. I guess some people joke about it for a cheap laugh. I certainly used to do that.. Before I actually ever shopped there. 

Perhaps there's a Puritan streak in some people who see drinking, betting, indeed anything popular and enjoyable as something the huddled masses of RL supporters should be denied.
