IKEA is apologizing<\/a> after it was discovered that one of its BJ\u00d6RKSTA world map posters left off New Zealand. (Yes, that again.) IKEA says the product will be phased out; it’s still available<\/a> in my country, for the moment. Note that there are three other world maps in the BJ\u00d6RKSTA series<\/a> (which consists of framed pictures, including art, photos and maps); the other three do<\/em> include New Zealand.<\/p>\n

IKEA had better hope no one finds out about the map art that uses the Mercator projection.<\/p>\n
