news break: strand book totes

i have issues with brand names on clothing items/bags in general. i mean i get it its advertising and if you are selling clothing it's smart because if someone likes the shirt and sees it on someone else they know where they can get it. bands also have merch which i am a fan of because a lot of the shirts and stuff are pretty creative and awesome. now what i don't quite get is bookstores having merch. i mean sure it helps advertise, but why would people want to use such a plain bag with and ugly logo as a purse. okay so i will forgive you for using it as a book bag or such, but seriously if i see one more person uses a strand bookstore bag as a purse in this city i am gonna loose it. it's not even like you are being original and it serves no practical purpose since it has no pockets for various items so if say your phone rings you don't have to dig through the bag until whoops you miss the call. i just don't get the appeal. so please just stop it doesn't even make you look that smart, it just makes you look like a dumbass.
