My 2 cents: post should stand, maybe the [NSFW] expanded to [NSFW-hardcore fsking]. or something. [NSFW-Creamy Finish]?

I agree about nobody needing to do porn things on their furniture, though, that particleboard isn't meant for that kind of abuse.

Which reminds me of the story of Kubrick watching the striptease scene in The Unbearable Lightness of Being: He paid no attention to Lena Olin, but pointed out that Juliette Binoche's camera was exactly correct for the setting (though in fact it's a little anachronistic).

porn is pretty normal in my house and we're often noticing that a footstool is the same as a friend's or that i have had those pair of socks or whatever. of course, i also notice that sort of stuff in big brother and sport reporting booths. i imagine there are other people like that and those people put this together.

For me, Ikea always brings to mind the word 'zusammenbau'. One time, years ago, my friend Stephen brought home a flat-packed Ikea something or other. We opened it up, looked at the instructions, and there were no words, just diagrams. Except for the word 'zusammenbau'. And because of that word's proximity to the simple line-drawing dude (see, for example here) who was explaining how to put the stuff together, in diagrams, we decided that Zusammenbau was his name. (Of course, it turns out, 'zussamenbau' is just German for 'assembly'.)

Now, I am experiencing the unfortunate mental image of Zussamenbau demonstrating various, um, other, forms of how things fit together...

I'm guessing you're likely to notice if you have that furniture yourself or a friend has it in their living room. Since a lot of it is paintings and bedspreads, those are pretty recognizable.

I filled out a wen form to get an IKEA catalog. Waited. Nothing. Forgot about it. A year passed. I filled the form out again and noticed the form said catalogs are only sent quarterly, so if you just missed on it could be nearly half a year. So I patiently waited. Six months, another year. I write them a letter pointing out that I have been quite patient and could I please have my catalog already? No response. Another year goes by. They are the "sponsored" tweet in my twitter stream. I tweet them, they tell me to fill out the form, so once again I do so. It's only been a few weeks, but I am guessing that form does nothing.

I tell stories like this at parties too. I am a riot! There's probably a moral here somewhere.

As a broke person in a city where people move frequently and with little notice, I'd say that my and my friends' furniture is about 80% Ikea. The rest is from the curb. I don't LIKE it, but I can recognize a lot of Ikea furniture at this point. That Lack side table from "Cock hungry mature paintress takes it from behind"? Seen dozens of 'em in real life. Ingolf chair from "German amateur madame blows in action door fuck"? In my living room right now. And that Expedit shelf? I think I've been in fewer apartments that DIDN'T have it than ones that did.
