LV eco-bag = garbage bag? ?????

This morning when I was reading the news online, I suddenly saw a forum topic about LV that was quite creative and eye-catching -

(LV eco-bag for everyone, come and hit me with your roasted chicken~)

The content was: everyone should buy a 20-yuan LV bag to use as a shopping bag. Anyway, supermarkets are about to stop providing plastic bags, so let's turn French luxury goods into Chinese shopping bags~

(English translation: I am being used as a plastic bag)

Some netizens' comments:

Gamma Ray: Yes. We need to make Neverfull become full—stuffed with vegetables, magazines, and toilet paper bought by ordinary Chinese people...

Ericshytan: French luxury goods = plastic bags

Kviis: Whether it's a real or fake French bag, carrying it around is advertising for them. Speaking of boycotting, the wisest way is to seal them away and not use them. Not showing them off and not buying from their specialty stores, at least during this sensitive time, we need to get through it. Last Thursday, after I finished reading related reports, I spent an hour putting all my French products into a large travel suitcase. I don't plan to take out any bag to use before the closing ceremony of the Olympics. The fact is, Chinese people in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the UK, and many European countries are now reserving patriotic bags. We've decided to carry patriotic bags while shopping, eating, watching movies, attending classes, and working... More and more sisters have joined the custom-made patriotic bag movement. We want to carry the "We love China" logo proudly and tell those foreigners: we love our country, and I'm proud to be Chinese!

Tttttony: What free advertisement? Do you even understand anything?

When everyone in China starts using these as garbage bags, will LV still be able to survive in China?

BirdFlu: Regardless if it's real or fake, I'll just use an eco-friendly bag for grocery shopping.

Actually, I personally think that moderate patriotism is necessary, but sometimes there's no need to blindly follow trends. Sometimes we need to have our own thoughts and face issues rationally, otherwise, we might end up counterproductive. I think staying neutral like netizen BirdFlu (Avian Influenza) is also a pretty good choice. No matter what, just do our best. If we need to be environmentally friendly, then let's be eco-conscious... This is the greatest gift we can offer for the Olympics.
