Oh my, look at the size of that shelf unit... Ikea furniture in hardcore porn films

We all know Ikea has taken over the world (and have the flat-pack furniture to prove it), but a new tumblr has reiterated the fact that in a rather eye-opening way.
"Just another Ikea catalog" consists of clips taken from the net showing Ikea furniture which has fetched up in hardcore porn films. The images are then waggishly turned into gifs with the price and name of the product super-imposed over the action and captioned with care instructions, the name of the designer and key features.
The whole thing is appallingly unsafe for work, of course, but does demonstrate something rather peculiar: a considerable number of scenes on the internet showing people in the final throes of physical ecstasy take place on, well, Ikea throws ("care instructions: machine wash, warm", since you ask). If that doesn't prove the company's "cultural penetration", as the marketing men call it, I don't know what does.
