IKEA Border Wall provides Trump with affordable construction option

[FSogol]

A spoof of an IKEA flat-pack furniture kit shows how to cheaply build Donald Trump's proposed Mexican border wall.

The Börder Wåll offers a "practical, ready-made solution" to the US president's plans for a continuous barrier between the two countries, according to satirical news site The Postillon.

At just $9,999,999,999.99, the IKEA product would be a steal compared to a traditional wall, which is currently estimated to come in between $15 and $25 billion (£12 and £20 billion).

A graphic mimicking a typical minimal instruction sheet provided by the Swedish furniture giant has been mocked up for the builders. It lists hundreds of thousands of panels and barbed-wire coils, along with millions of screws, but only specifies a single Allen key for assembly.

4. After all the grifting, there is only room in the budget for one worker.

6. According to the original website, it requires two people to assemble it!

“Börder Wåll”: IKEA offers Trump an affordable solution
https://www.the-postillon.com/2017/01/border-wall-ikea.html



The simple, Scandinavian designed border wall (with a 5 year guarantee) is primarily made of pressboard with a birch effect and can be assembled with the help of a hex key. A 12,000 page instruction manual with easy-to-understand pictures makes construction child’s play – as long as there is not a single screw missing.

“However, assembly requires two people: one person can hold the wall while the second screws it together”, it states in IKEA’s offer.

The basic model of the wall is 33ft (10 m) tall and 1,954 miles (3,144 km) long, although the height and length can be extended as desired.

IKEA has already announced that it will design other products in the next few weeks that will be compatible with “Börder Wåll”. According to inside sources, this includes products such as the “Gåwk” watchtower and the “Råtåtåtåtåtå” spring-gun.

7. Actually, that is a handy chart.

I always wondered what "clay colored" meant in the poopy-medical sense,because clay comes in various colors, and here down south, the soil is mostly reddish-orange, but also can be a yellow color..but can get sticky with rain=clay.,
yellow or red brick houses are all over the place here.
