about

"Smashing Telly is a hand edited collection of the best free, instantly available TV on the web. ~~Not 30 second clips~~ (now with added clips, good ones) of a dog on a skateboard, or the millionth person to mime the Numa song, but classic clips and full length programs, with a focus on documentaries and non fiction. Smashing Television, not Gimmick Television.

Each entry is like a postcard, a short piece of text which describes a moving picture."

What could be more Swedish than IKEA? That’s what the Germans thought when making a commercial for IKEA Germany, so they decided to make fun of the Swedes and their midsummer traditional festival where they have a feast and dance around a maypole. Head office was not amused and banned it.

Totally silly and fun. What about those tight butts at Ikea HQ? Silly to ban it, since now people will be more determined to see it.
