Ikea Leko: Seriously?
Ikea is set to introduce a car on April 1. Not much is known, but it’s said to be eco-friendly and strangely has the backing of the World Wildlife Fund. Real? April Fool’s joke? Elaborate marketing scheme? I’ll let you decide. I’ll pass in favor of a few more 50 cent hot dogs. Personally, I [...]
Batman Logo: Evolution
