Che

Oh wow, I just remembered something from last night. Time magazine had one of those sidebar columns on a new Che Guevara sweater by Republica Trading Company. Guess how much they're selling it for? ONE HUNDRED NINETY EIGHT DOLLARS!!!! Per sweater. I'm torn between outrage and happiness. Outrage because Che was an asshole and got what he deserved and I hate all of these fuckers thinking they're original, edgy, and intellectual b/c they have a Che picture on a T-shirt. But happy because self-righteous morons are actually gonna shell out several times the average monthly (or yearly) income of many third world countries to show solidarity with their plight, opposition to capitalism, etc.
Irony - LOVE IT!
He killed a lot of people, people. Innocent people. He killed people for crazy reasons. There is a shirt out there that looks like all of the other CHe shirts but the caption is "Che deserved to die." I must have it.
Just like the sensitive intellectual types who have an Ezra Pound quote on their wall. Another horrible person who's hatefulness has somehow been forgotten.
