The more the Che's message is watered down the more insignificant he becomes. Who cares.
I think the fact that clueless American kids will be wearing Che's face on their shirts is in fact a tremendous insult to the communist, and his fans.
Che is now equated with Britney Spears in my mind. And that's about right.
OMG! The Communist Che being used by capitalists to sell products! The horror! The horror!
Without these shirts, it can take up to thirteen seconds of conversation to conclusively identify people as such.
I like the t-shirt for babies that reads "I tore mommy a new one..."
Wish I'd seen that when my kids were little... sigh.
ROTFLMFAO!!!
That is thirteen seconds saved! I tried to talk to my 14 year old nephew wearing one, and why Guevara was not a good guy to have on your shirt, but it was kind of a waste of time. He's a nice kid, but...it was not important to him.
Kind of like teaching a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
responsible for over 100 million murders?
ok i see it was talking about communism not che.
In partnership with Fidel Castro and Nikita Khruschcehv, Ernesto Guevara nearly started World War Three in 1962.
You might . . . when The Motorcycle Diaries reaches cable. If you strip away the myth from the man, you will see where we all soon will be," sang Carl Anderson in "Jesus Christ Superstar." Perhaps this is an inappropriate comparison when talking about a communist legend like Ché Guevara, but nonetheless, that's the very strategy Brazilian director Walter Salles uses in his latest movie, "The Motorcycle Diaries." The film tells how 23-year-old Ernesto Guevara (Gael García Bernal) and his roguish friend Alberto Granado (Rodrigo de la Serna) embark on a road trip across Latin America in the early '50s before facing adulthood. What starts as a college-student adventure trip soon becomes a rich and life-changing experience of self-discovery. Their journey takes them across Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela. Traveling more than 10,000 kilometers in eight months, the two young friends witness the terrible misery and injustice suffered by the good-hearted, hard-working, simple folk of South America. Their encounters make them question the value of progress as defined by an economy-based world that leaves so many people aside. "The Motorcycle Diaries" offers an unusual vision of the communist revolutionary, an objective and apolitical account of the series of events that inexorably shaped Ernesto into the man he would become.

But then, recent movies, documentaries, haven't done much for Fidel . . .
it was nice of the commies to keep the number of people they killed so well rounded.
The thousands of Cubans executed without trial for thinking for themselves will surely be comforted by your words.
Wondering when the line of POL POT windbreakers will be out?
