Che Guevara

[garsk]

maybe back in the day, but now he is great marketing tool.

[Crusader]

most people don't even know who he was. how can they like che yet hate castro?

[ecnarf]

We don't hate Castro as long as we keep getting his delicious cigars.

[Crusader]

i can't wait to get my castro tshirt

[supercanuk]

lol this is a funny poll. lol What if you disagree with both of them? Sure Che did some great things, but he also has a dark history as well. He was a doctor, but apparently used to do some pretty sketchy experiments with people. So it's sorta half and half, who knows, either way, he lead a Bolivian revolution and was the right hand man of Castro. I have problems with Castro too, he locks up people who disagree with him. I mean, he's a lot better then many other world leaders but both these people, as always have character flaws.

[garsk]

but think of those great t-shirts he's on

[supercanuk]

That not a dime goes to the Guevara family? Yeah, people have been capitalizing on his death for years.

[garsk]

i guess capitalism won then.

[Some Random]

i don't know a damn thing about him, nor do i care. i wouldn't where one of those stupid shirts because of this, but that doesn't stop most che shirt wearers.

[Sparq]

I lead a Bolivian revolution too, and you don't see ME on any fucking t-shirts. It's a goddamn beauty contest, I'm telling you.

[supercanuk]

i guess capitalism won then.

haha uhh i don't understand how that works. Some dude dies, and a bunch of people make some t-shirts of him that they sell. There wasn't some competition between Che and the eerie powers of capitalism lol. He was a pinko for sure, but the t-shirts don't have anything to do with that lol - garks that is so confusing.

[Sparq]

Clearly he was assassinated by a Norwegian hitman, hired through handlers by a coalition of Fruit of the Loom and Haynes in a sinister plot to create a pop culture t-shirt empire. Just like Jesus and those plastic bobble heads, or Dale Earnhardt and die-cast replica NASCARs.

BAHAHHAHAHA

 

Yes, i am telling you, we must always pay close attention to the Norwegian spooks. They are ALWAYS watching. ALWAYS.

[Azalroth]

oh man that was some hilarious stuff as usual Sparq....lmao

 

But I expected the Irish to be in there somewhere...

[Lauren]

they should put me on t-shirts. i wish i had photoshop or something similar and i'd make the shirts myself.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

i find it ironic that people buy these shirts with che on them... that were made by little kids in china

[Sparq]

Most of them don't really know who Che was anyway.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

exactly

 

i saw a shirt with him on it and under it said "i have no idea who this is". it made me laugh

[garsk]

i would like that shirt

[supercanuk]

Sheesh people, after going to medical school Che drove around South America on his bike with a friend ( this is the basis of the movie the motorcycle diaries) - then making his way to Mexico where he met Fidel's brother - who later got him into Fidel's group, helped lead a revolution against Balliste (I dont know the spelling but the Cuban dictator at the time) only to join the ranks of the Cuban government to leave for his vision of a revolutionary change in Bolivia and Africa. SHESH!!

[garsk]

and people think that Hollywood doesn't teach people stuff

[supercanuk]

Actually Hollywood taught me nothing I've read about Che.

[Moonlight_Graham]

I'm not a communist or a marxist so fuck him. Why aren't there Ghandi or Mendella T-shirts? I think its just a cool image that why most people wear it, they don't know much about Che. These peeps are just like Che = revolution!!

[Sparq]

Che was a little more photogenic than Ghandi.

[Crusader]

it's a party!
