Ikea Introduces ‘Manland’ For Bored Male Shoppers

Ikea furniture is fun to buy. Please don't ask us to comment on it's assembly. Ikea furniture is also kind of fun to shop for, unless, a woman is involved who insists on going department by department. It gets a little tedious and only so many Swedish meatballs can ease the pain of hours of shopping.

For this reason, Ikea is testing out "Manland" in a Sydney, Australia store. What's in Manland? According to Curbed.com "think ultimate man-cave stuff such as video games, foosball tables, free hot dogs, and pinball machines."

Awesome! That's a place a guy could hang out in forever while his wife/girlfriend spent their entire savings on furniture. Hmmmmm.Something stinks about this whole idea and it isn't Swedish meatballs. This sounds like a trick.

"As with Ikea's childcare creche, women dropping off their husbands and boyfriends are given a buzzer. After 30 minutes, the buzzer goes off, it reminds you that you have to come pick up your man or else, you know, we may have to all the authorities."

Shouldn't it be the other way around? After 30 minutes men should have to find their partner before they are in debt to Ikea and the entire country of Sweden.
