The Popularization of Ernesto Guevara

[dmcauliffe09]

The pop culture surrounding Guevara is sickening. His face is being used as a marketing tool instead of an image of hope and determination. I myself have a shirt emblazoned with his face, but when I see the drinks, the cigarettes, etc., I can't help but feel as though a revolutionary hero has become nothing more than a product in today's world. Thoughts? Does anyone else find it disturbing that his face is being used to sell bullshit consumer products?
