IKEA Wants You To Make A Baby Today, Offering Free Cribs To Kids Born 9 Months From Now
Consumerist ^

Posted on 02/14/2013 4:37:11 PM PST by SMGFan

Today is a day of love, affection, chocolates, roses, cards and a bunch of other romantic whatnot. But for folks in parts of Australia whose Valentine’s Day fun results in offspring, IKEA is offering up free furniture. In the above ad, posted on Reddit, IKEA says that babies born exactly nine months from now (Nov. 14, 2013) will receive a free Sniglar crib from the retailer. (Offer only good in South Australia and Western Australia, per the fine print).

Of course, delivery is not always nine months from the day of conception, so the kids who will score the free furniture could have been conceived within a few weeks of Valentine’s, which some may say is not really fair to the parents-to-be who are spending tonight together in the hopes of earning a free crib in the fall.

Seems it would be a HATE CRIME in many states, unless they counted “day of adoption” the same as day of birth.

The people that need the cribs the most can just steal them off the IKEA truck. They don’t shop at IKEA anyways.

Looked at a pic of the crib. The crib is most likely illegal in the U.S. due to the regulations.

Only to parents married to one another, and MALE and FEMALE. No surrogate-mother-for-the-gay-couple crap allowed.
