This is a friend of the family story -- and my wife's family at that -- so perhaps there should be a grain of salt involved.
Apparently, when Che was a young man, there was a girl that both he and a rival asked out. The girl went out with Che's rival.
Shortly after the communists came to power, Che tracked down the rival. He was married to a different woman. Nonetheless, Che had the man executed, in front of his wife and children, simply because he had dated a young woman, who had turned Che down.
The friend of my wife's family was friends with the man who was murdered. That incident is what convinced him it was time to flee to the U.S.
I'll bet most Che T sporters just think the guy on it is a handsome iconic image and don't know he was a Communist murderer. People just see their fav celebrities wearing it, who probably don't know themselves who he is or maybe hear a romanticized version of his life and not how he brutally murdered his political enemies. I like to dress fashionably, but count me out of that one.
YOWZA!!

I remember Garcia protesting at Elian Gonzalez's house when Clinton's boys took him away. Got to admire someone who walks the talk.
Click here for Andy Garcia's THE LOST CITY.
Also starring Dustin Hoffman and Bill Murray.

3 CHeers For Andy Garcia! You're not alone!
Hopefully when my cartooning career gets a boost up, expect me to draw Che being beaten by my creation, a fast little girl named Casey Quickster!
Just off the top of my head... wasn't Che the guy who got scared sh*tless by a couple of guys in a boat playing a tape recording of guns blazing, retreated into the jungle, pissed his pants, and shot himself by accident?
That Che? The coward Che? What a guy (/sarcasm)
Andy definately is one of the good guys in Hollywood.
