20,000 people showed up at the new IKEA in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and, in a rush to claim 50 $150.00 shopping vouchers given away, three men were trampled to death.

This is a completely believable story. Having been to a few IKEAs here in the states, it's an amazing and terrifying spectacle to see the hoards of shoppers and their huge shopping carts converging on hapless victims and killing them to get their hands on the last Ümlaut TV cart or Øslash sleeper sofa.

20 others fainted in the crunch, but that leaves 19,978 people who left satisfied and filled with meatballs!
