Thursday Afternoon Diversion: Page 23 of the IKEA Catalog

Consumerist posted this yesterday and we felt this deserved the Diversion treatment. This is an entry from the 48-Hour Film Festival in the Netherlands that fantasizes about what happens when no one is looking at the IKEA catalog. The models are always smiling, never moving, when the catalog is open. When closed, the models chafe at their confinement.
