IKEA - Banned Commercial - Swedish Midsummer

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).

As a swede, I don't find this offending. It just makes me look forward to the summer!

This is what we call Vikings

[Fr34k1ng0ut]

I can't see how this could not have been considered offensive :DDD Also, too long :P. Swedish Midsummer seems like a whole lot of fun though! In Lithuania, we used to weave wreaths, seek fern (!) blossoms and dance around bonfires... But now we basically just get wasted like everyone else ;D.
