@CalebMTurberville Rev3, go look at Penn Says for your inspiration. There's a reason it had loyals followers for nearly two years. Non-intrusive ads, single camera set-up, different locales, and a monthly viewer feedback video.

i dont use bags, i put everything in my pockets. i got caught once. but i've gotten better since then.

peace, lardo.

thought he'd mention something about the water used to clean the bags, and the toxic chemicals we use to clean them with hurting the environment in similar ways that recyclable bags do. guess not.

well, i seen a tv special about something similar, and they tried to make us look like the bad guys for using reusable things because it is bad to wash things so much.

i think thats pretty much bullshit, but those same nuts who make the plastic argument make the water arguments also. so... wtf

@CalebMTurberville

ahhh... 8 months later....

theres a reason he stopped doing penn says.

probably something to do with the lack of money it brought in (as he talks about alot in this series)

so, 8 months later, i hope you still aren't mad at penn for choosing rev3, and bombarding you with ads. he has some really great vids. i hope you check them out... 8 months later.

so far I have had three severe allergic reaction to customers bags. THEY ARE GROSS. Many are covered in animal hair, food stains and just blame smell. I plan on sueing Cali for creating a dangerious and unhealthy work envirment for cashies across the state.

Tell me more. Now. Please.

I will never use a shopping cart again.

If you drink a lot of carbonated water at home you should buy one of those machines that let you carbonate tap water. (Which you would have to put into a bottle before you carbonate it...)

We may not run out of corn but we may run out of oil to make the fertilizer to grow the corn...

Reusable bags are like underwear: unless you fancy the idea of using the same one for weeks on end, laundry day is simply common sense.

Unless you're trying to sell newspapers, in which case simply ignore the above instructions, let it reek of smelly fish, and go to the press when you get sick from contamination.

LOL.

"America's supply of timber has been increasing for decades, and the nation's forests have three times more wood today than in 1920. We're not running out of wood, so why do we worry so much about recycling paper? Paper is an agricultural product, made from trees grown specifically for paper production. Acting to conserve trees by recycling paper is like acting to conserve cornstalks by cutting back on corn consumption." - Jerry Taylor, Cato Institute

Did you read that? Great video, as usual.

I know, I agree. It really is sad and even tho I love listening to pennpoint it doesn't have quite the same feel as Penn says
