Adgrunt kgeiger sent us an update to his story on the IKEA Germany - "Midsommar in Schweden" ads that offended the top brass at Swedish Ikea. Here's the commercial that they replaced the old ones with - in it they mock the beloved* traditional midsummer song and dance "Små grodorna" (the little frogs). Blasphemy!

Carlsberg - Svensker - (1992) 0:45 (Denmark)

Possibly my favorite Carlsberg ad ever. And I'm Swedish.

Scandinavians love to tease each other. The Swede (with the hairstyle danes insist every single Swedish man has) has to make an oath before the bartender gives him the beer.

"I will not catcall after your girls. I will not fall asleep on Strøget. I will not pee in your parks. I will not throw up in Tivoli. And I promise I will take the last boat home."

Gillette - Swedish lady barber - 0:30 (USA) 1969

Gillette spoiler beats a Swedish lady barber any day.
