Ikea denies tampering with dog photo

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Ikea denies speculation that the picture of a dog in the Swedish retailer's new catalogue was doctored to make it appear it had a human penis.

"It really is just a dog with its leg on the couch -- nothing else," Ikea Sweden spokeswoman Eva Stal told The Local newspaper.

Some 175 million copies of the Ikea catalogue have been distributed globally, all with the same photo on the inside cover. The picture has become a hit on the Internet, with a number of Web sites featuring the unusual photo.

Ikea says it hopes people forget about the picture and enjoy the other 300-some pages of products, the newspaper reported.

    Ew, why did I look?

    I have two dogs and that is not a dog's thigh.

    Can we add Ikea to the boycott list?

    Even if it IS a penis--It's just a penis, people! At least half of you see one of those on a regular basis.

    looks like the dog's leg to me, but looks like a penis shaped leg... but ummm yeah, so what, it's a penis, about half of us have one.

    I don't have one myself, but I'd say that's a penis. I'm not offended, not boycotting Ikea, either. I just think somebody "slipped one in" as a joke.
