okay, that's ridiculous. yeah, i personally think LV is overcharging for something that looks like a "standard laundry bag" but regardless, for an upstanding newspaper to actually TELL people how to fake a bag (ANY bag) is just wrong. that's just like a newspaper telling people, hey instead of paying $18 for that new hot CD, here are step-by-step instructions to make your own: 1) go to this site to download illegal mp3s, 2) buy CD-Rs, and 3) burn illegal mp3s on CD-R...and voila! you just saved yourself $17. i'm sure if the newspaper did that, a whole crapload of people would be up in arms, especially considering all the lawsuits about this. i don't see how this whole thing with LV is different.
