Norwegian PM accuses IKEA of Discrimination

The Prime Minister of Norway has accused IKEA of sexual discrimination, and it's not the normal use of hiring statistics. No, it is because there are no women depicted in IKEA's manual. Surely the Prime Minister has more important things to do than to worry about than this. Even he, I am sure, does not think it is intentional ill-will towards women on IKEA's part. Surely he has something better to do. This is just another case of the nanny state (admittedly, it is too easy to find them in Scandinavia).
