Re: Che
in reply to a message by Ailis
Che has a bad assocation with me because it reminds me of all the pea-brained colege guys who walk around with Che Guevara shirts thinking they're some kind of "cool dude". Yuck and barf!

I know. I hate all those products with Che Guevara's face on them and I wouldn't ever buy them. (I do own a biography of Che Guevara, though). They're selling him out, and turning him into a kind of Capitalist novelty. It's just exploiting his legacy, and I think anyone who wears those T-shirts has no idea of who Che Guevara was, and what he spent his whole life fighting. He would have hated those things so much.
