Meanwhile In Saudi Arabia of the Day

Looks like Ikea is in a bit of a hot mess: Eagle-eyed editors at the Swedish edition of Metro noticed something peculiar about Ikea's latest Saudi Arabia catalog -- all the women have been Photoshopped out.  Ikea has apologized, saying "We should have reacted and realized that excluding women from the Saudi Arabian version of the catalog is in conflict with the Ikea Group values." Nevertheless, Swedish trade minister Ewa Bjorling makes a good point: Try as the Saudis might, "you can't delete women from society."
