Today we're going to give you another last-minute Halloween costume idea. Since today brings us a
new episode of Easy To Assemble, we suggest dressing like a member of their cast. Pick one. Anyone. They wear a
uniform so it doesn't really matter which one, does it? We could say Illeana or Corey Feldman but we'll use the picture of
Eric Lange because he was also on LOST and that makes sense in some parallel universe, we're sure.
What you need:
- yellow polo shirt
- iron-on letters (at least the i-k-e-a)
- blue lanyard and a fake IKEA ID
- yellow pants OR regular blue jeans
If you can't find all of these things, an alternative would be to befriend an IKEA worker and ask him or her very nicely if they will lend you their uniform. But we hear they're pretty attached to those things...sleeping in them and wearing them beneath their suits on fancy occasions like the opera*, so, it might be difficult to find someone who'll just hand their uniform over to you
willy-nilly.
So maybe you could just wrap yourself up in IKEA instruction booklets and wield an allen wrench while swigging lingonberry juice straight from the box. Hey, it's a thought. Happy Halloween!
*no idea of any of that is true

Tag - you're ALL it. Everyone listed above is Flying High. Advertising Age just called Easy To Assemble "the most-watched sponsored web series."
Illeana Douglas had a vision about how to make the best possible films directly for the web - for fans - for actors - and for one very visionary sponsor: IKEA.
There's proof that Illeana was right. Everyone keeps coming back for more.
Today marks the premiere of the Easy To Assemble mini-series event: "Flying Solo."

Before you start waving the flag today, eyeball some bad news in the morning paper.
Two heavyweight champions have been in a classic battle that effects our access to information and entertainment.
Our privacy just got thrown into the middle of the ring:
Google Told to Turn Over User Data of YouTube
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge has ordered Google to turn over to Viacom its records of which users watched which videos on YouTube, the Web’s largest video site by far.
The order raised concerns among YouTube users and privacy advocates that the video viewing habits of tens of millions of people could be exposed. But Google and Viacom said they were hoping to come up with a way to protect the anonymity of the site’s visitors.
Full story here.
