O My GOD!!
] I was wondering down the street to get lunch when i see nothing but a person wearing a t shirt with a pic of che on THAT SUCKS.... hears why........

1. the T-shirt was probelly made in a poverty srticken opressed counntry

2.it cheapens the image of che and socalisum and makes it seem like a fasion instead of a way of life

3.No ofence to che but he's not exactly pretty, so WHY is he on a T-shirt

4.the people who wear these clothes probely think he's a foot ball player

i could go on for days!!!!
STOP THE MADNESS we must locate and destroy the places were these are being sold
PLEASE.... hold protests out side the shops, riot assainate GAPS head designer ANY THING.....JUST GET THAT SHIT OF THE STREETS

I happen to think Che is very pretty, so there! Yeh I agree with you it does kind of exploit Che's image by throwing his face on a T-shirt and selling it for inordinate prices. I'm sure he wouldnt have wanted it this way.

Some people wear Che t-shirts as a way of saluting Che and his cause. Even though he probably wouldn't have wanted t-shirts made with his photograph on them, it's still understandable. As long as the wearer realizes who's on the t-shirt, who made it, and where.

Others, however, wear Che t-shirts to demonstrate a false belief. To demonstrate that revolutionary=cool, as the latest trend dictates.

Besides, merchandising socialism is a very capitalist thing to do. Which is extremely hypocritical. But then, nobody really cares nowadays. ::sighs::

I saw the funniest fuckin thing I had ever seen in my life the other day.

In New Zealand here we have a thing called the Warehouse, which is a huge fuckin shop full of nearly anything, but cars and trains.

I saw this t shirt for little girls aged say 4-9 it said "join the revolution" and it had a pic of none other than Uncle fuckin Sam.

Ayone heard of a clothing thing called Body Glove? Thats who made the fckin thing.

Fuck the body glove bastards!

UnknownBefore you jump to conclusions about whether the person wearing che shirts has a 'right' to wear them you should go and talk to them. I always do, a lot of the people actually know who he is. Whats even better, you may get to talking with them and become friends.
I saw a really pretty girl wearing one so I went over and talked to her. She knew who he was but was busy so didn't talk too long, about a minute.
Think of some things to say to the next person you see wearing one first, this will make the conversation easier.

dude, there's nothing wrong with wearing one as long as you know who he is and why you're wearing it. I have a che-shirt, infact I try to make sure most of the t-shirts I get are political in some way. first it conveys a message, second it's better than a gap logo, third it's cheap, and finally it looks good. even better, I found a very cheap and very effective way of making t-shirts out of photocopies, even colour ones. and they actually look good. so from now on, I'm gonna be making my t-shirts. but don't give me this crap about it being bad for the revolution. as long as you ain't buying corporate produced t-shirts of che, it can only help. anything to get the message out. let people breathe dammit, we're depressed enough about the slaughter in the world without you telling us that announcing our opposition is a disgrace to the cause.

See, if I walked up to che y marijuana and complimented him on his shirt I could have a new bud.
