Not that it has anything to do with the pic…
“It was once calculated that “10% of Europeans currently alive were conceived in
one of Ikea’s beds.” (Whose job is it to calculate this?)
…You can
love Ikea or hate it; you may feel both things at once. What is certain, though,
is that Ikea loves you. This love is not unconditional – you’re going to have to
work for it, primarily by assembling furniture. But Ikea really does love you,
with an intensity that can be unsettling. And it has big plans for your future
together…”

Some counted 132. Whatever the final tally this photo gets a high score from me. Its eerie how many people take pictures of those carts.

“We were back at our home away from home since buying our house — IKEA
– to pick up random assorted items and while walking down to the lower
level I noticed this massive sea of shopping carts. This was one of
those times I’m glad I take the camera with me everywhere I go…”

To me, its just a store but some people feel compelled by the spirit, still others are paid to analyze (or tell people they are compelled by some spirit) and so the long journey to enlightenment continues.

“…the people who flock to Ikea during the sales really are like pilgrims flocking
to a shrine or temple, while those who more calmly make their way to the shops
at the weekend are akin to those who go to church on the sabbath. Shopping has
taken on a whole raft of functions that religions used to take care of. Human
beings seem to crave ritual, and shopping is the modern ritual par excellence.
Many people will go shopping on the same day almost every week, visiting the
same shops. They will stop off for a coffee at the usual time and will often
meet friends while on their trips. The weekly shop provides comforting
regularity, just as regular worship once did.”
