Hey, get your mind out of the gutter. We’re talking about actual bags here; the fun kind. Wish I could tell you where they come from, but like many things, these photos are making their way virally around the web with no contextual information attached. Anyone seen ‘em in person?

what a great post!

I saw that post title and I shouldn’t tell you what went thru the mind of an Aussie when they hear the word funbags.
That aside, always interesting to see some different and funny executions of advertising material (no pun intended with the first bag in the post).

Ransom, you find the craziest crap out there. You truly are an Indiana Jones of the Internet.

Witty things make my heart hurt. I wouldn’t be caught dead carrying one of those lame-o bags.
