This one is too funny but I gotta say good for him for thinking outside the box and giving a big middle finger to the mask breathing covidiots
"I can't have 10 people in my house, but I can bring 11 people to IKEA. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever."
These are the words and sentiments of a Toronto man who recently staged his own birthday party inside an IKEA store, complete with red solo cups, hired models, $45 worth of hot dogs, and an appearance by the local Instagram celebrity Debby. https://www.instagram.com/debbygang.tv/
He did it — hosted a party in defiance of provincial lockdown rules, that is — to prove a point about the oft-criticized "big box stores can stay open but small businesses can't" part of Doug Ford's Reopening Ontario Act.
Julian isn't the first person to challenge Ontrario's "grey zone" lockdown rules, which currently apply to everyone in Toronto and strictly prohibit indoor social gatherings (along with indoor dining, shopping in stores, getting one's hair done, etc.), but he may be one of the most creative we've seen to date.
"Basically, there's this guy named Julian. He's the biggest club promoter in Toronto... this guy makes a living by throwing literally the most lit parties at nightclubs in Toronto," explains YouTuber Cringe Daddy (Hunter Lewis) in a short documentary-style video documenting the event.
"So Julian's like 'f*ck, well if we can't party at the club'… Julian decided to throw a birthday party at the only place with unlimited capacity: IKEA."
Released on Sunday, CringeDaddy's "We Turned IKEA into a CLUB" video features some interview footage with Julian himself ahead of the party.
"It has to be done — somebody has to do it," says Julian of the party to Lewis between sips of Red Bull.
"The goal basically is just to prove a point — it doesn't make sense that IKEA can have like 800 people in their store... Like, it doesn’t make sense whatsoever you know what I mean?"
The promoter explains how he plans to pull off the covert IKEA party, noting that he put a fake date on the flyer for his party to trick anyone who might message the police, IKEA or Doug Ford.
"I got two models coming to IKEA at 5:15, we're gunna make them like, eat hot dogs sexually and shit," he notes.
