This week, we watch a man - clearly with a talent for wordplay - meting out his own brand of pun-ishment to his girlfriend as they make their way around an Ikea store. And in a cringe-worthy moment that made international headlines, a schoolboy in Taiwan makes a million-dollar mistake when he accidentally rips an ancient Italian painting.
