    Environmentalist? C+ Marketing? A- Honestly I don't blame those people those bags are pretty funny and I wouldn't mind a reusable bag with that type of humor on it.

      If the owner of EastWest is smart, he'll get into making funny totes. The bags themselves are super cheap, and screening isn't much more, especially for a single color print.

        Are people bothered by it? I have a VANS tote with checkers and I don't have a car so I skate or bike to the store and love using my relevant reusable bag. And if I need 2 I just have a backup RALPHS bag. Basic shop reusable with like food pictures or whatever.

        I guess people who don't like tote bags will need a humorous approach to sporting tote bags. Like a bag that says "My other bag is a manly duffel bag!" or "I'm a one trip grocery carrying kind of guy." etcetera

            I don't have a car and ride a bike so I guess it's incredibly unlikely I will forget them. I would be up a creek without them. Cars and computers and phones make us soft n stupid lol
