But this is too far&#33; <_<

[RebelOutcast]

Hmmm, she has a nice ass, Don&#39;t take that as a sexist comment&#33;

Yeah, the capital exploitation of Ernesto&#39;s face is pretty terrible, but snakes on a plane.
He&#39;s a popular icon, people will use his image to make their brand/whatever popular and there&#39;s bugger all you can do about it.

[drain.you]

Just out of curiosity what were you searching for when you stumbled across that pic? :lol:

[jen_cork]

at the end of the day che&#39;s an iconic figure, his face sells, so therefore whether or not people understand what che stood for, stands for.....his face is still going to be printed on mindless object that have no connection to che or the cause....

[Martyr]

This is the most famous che irony of all whom everyone says but he fought capitalism and yet he is praised in it by the same people he fought.

[bed_of_nails]

I am sure Che would have loved to be there. I know I would.

[Lex]

terrible..I&#39;ve never put Che&#39;s face on my ass (even on my foot) like that...It&#39;s something like we do not respect him, I think..

[Wanted Man]

That&#39;s awesome, and also very funny. Stop being offended, you puritans.

:lol: Yeah&#33; Iknow what you are thinking comrade&#33; But I was not looking for that at all. I was just simply looking for images of Che in Google and that was one of them. It shocked me very much, so I decided to share it with you guy&#33; :D

I found it to be a little bit funny to me. But I was more shocked than amused. <_<

Apart from that, nice ass ^_^

[Colombia]

Ah this made my great day even better. :D

[sari]

yah I think its terible somethings go to far like this&#33;&#33;&#33;
so much people wear things with ernesto&#39;s face on it but moste of those people even don&#39;t now who he is .they only wear it to look cool. and thats really terible

[drain.you]

I am sure Che would have loved to be there. I know I would.
Che was stranded in Miami for a month in 1952 if I recall correctly. I know he hated the US before he had ever set foot there but he apparently enjoyed the beaches of Miami despite having a serious lack of money whilst there.

[Big Boss]

Was he a victim of racism while staying in the US? Just curious&#33; :mellow:

Che is rolling in his grave....

I honestly think Che would have laughed at that picture, and quite possibly have followed her down the beach for a while :)

Although I do see the irony of an anti-capitalist icon becoming a means of selling cheap goods.

You think so? If a hot chick walked past me with my image on her butt, I&#39;d hit it.

I&#39;d drink to that&#33;

[RebelOutcast]

I&#39;m with matthijs and ack on this.

[RedSabine]

What about people who buy a Che shirt cause they like what he stood for?

On the pic, it&#39;s funny as hell. :D

[rioters bloc]

i would wear it.

that gives me an idea...maybe ill make a che bikini.

[Amusing Scrotum]

that gives me an idea...maybe ill make a che bikini.

A Stalin bikini would be better.

Thinking about it, can you imagine a man thong with Stalin&#39;s face on the front, now I&#39;d pay money to see that.
:wub:

:lol:

[Master Che]

This is a great disgrace.

[More Fire for the People]

I doubt Che would complain.

If I may, but I think that a Stalin quote is never a good quote, but this is quite applicable.

Stop telling everyone my deepest darkest secrets. :angry: :angry: :lol:

[rioters bloc]

can i ask, is the problem people have here that che&#39;s face is on merchandise, or is that specifically that&#39;s it on a bikini bottom?

[rioters bloc]

who said that?

:S i can only see your post below mine?

[unknown_rebel]

[FONT=Arial]nice ass but yea brans will do anything to make money
especialy for a lot of people wich they use the pic of che because they thinnk is a rebel icon, wich he was but not in a social way. :ph34r:

[Fidel Follower]

Name facists&#33;

[Big Boss]

I&#39;m against both, as comrade Companero said. I&#39;m not so against the shirt ideas with Che&#39;s face. The thing is that it has gotten so bad that his image is not only on shirts but on coffe mugs and bikinis&#33; :angry:

[rioters bloc]

so tshirts are ok [usually guys tshirts, ive never seen a che tshirt in a female fit] but bikinis for girls arent?? how do you know that the girl in that picture isnt and massive fan of che?

[Big Boss]

A massive fan of Che&#39;s image could wear a bikini of his face. Not a massive fan of Che&#39;s example of sacrifice. <_<

[rioters bloc]

but a massive fan of che&#39;s &#39;example of sacrifice&#39; could wear a tshirt of his face?

i&#39;m just unsure as to what you meant in your last post.

[Big Boss]

Wearing T-shirts of Che is not such a bad thing. I have a bunch myself and I use them to educate people about the truth and what he really means. I know that you&#39;re a fan of his example just as much as I am. But you know, as well as I, that these products (coffe mugs,shirts,bikinis, soap and even toys) are made to take advantage his image and what he died for. All of these are tools that the capitalists use to ridicule him and make cash out of him. What we have to do is use these tools and fight them back with them. As I said, I wear my shirts to educate but if you want to wear a bikini of him and educate people at the same time, then I&#39;m with you comrade&#33; :)

[rioters bloc]

haha fair enough :P

his image has been incredibly commodified, i often see people wearing his face who dont even know his name :( was just wanting to clear up whether it was the item of clothing that offended you or the commodification :P

[Big Boss]

It&#39;s the commodification my dear comrade&#33; :P

[Tupac-Amaru]

It&#39;s amazing how there&#39;s already two pages revolving around a hot chick&#39;s batty...it&#39;ll make a great impression on new members...to show them how deep our philosophical disscutions are. ;)

[drain.you]

I don&#39;t wear clothing with Che&#39;s image on it. I don&#39;t really think its right to do so. Firstly capitalists are profitting from it and secondly, people will think that I&#39;m just crowd following. I wear a hammer&sickle t-shirt and a redstar t-shirt and other commie branded things and also write commie messages on my bag so people behind me in ques and such can read them :P
I dunno. I just refrain from buying clothing with che on, just my way of shwoing respect to the guy, sounds silly, maybe it is, but I feel better for not doing so..


hot chick&#39;s batty.
Oh, and sexist much?

Please post a picture of it then :lol:

[Janus]

Che has become a pop icon. His followers were not just socialists but people who wanted change in general. After all, Che symbolized chivalry and gallantry in a world that was becoming more and more dominated by political deals made between the two superpowers. However, I&#39;m sure he never wanted his image to be exploited in this fashion.

Did you know that recently, the Guevara family and the photographer who took that gamous photo have been clamoring for manufacturers to stop utilizing Che&#39;s image for their own selfish purposes particularly Smirnoff.

[Big Boss]

That&#39;s true. I think that Korda (the photographer who took his famous picture), never got a cent for it. A year before his death he sued a wiskey company for putting Che&#39;s face on their liquor bottles. Sadly, he died of a heart attack a couple of years ago. I don&#39;t mind so muche the clothig thing, but the thing is out of control. I mean, his face is on liquor and soap bars. What is next? Che Bubble Gum&#33;? :angry:

I suppose its okay to buy Che Tshirts from Che-lives and other commie shops&#33; :)

Or you could spin your own cotton, spend half your life knitting the Tshirt, and then draw a pictue of Che on it&#33; Then no profit to any one...? :P
We can hope......:hammer:

I don&#39;t believe that. One thing about Che that I&#39;ve always respected was that he was ruthless. If something had to be done to further the revolution then he did it. I&#39;m sure he would&#39;ve regarded both chivalry and gallantry as weaknesses.

I never got the idea behind the whole "face on a thong" concept <_<

[Wanted Man]

I fully agree with rioters_bloc, surprisingly. Apparently many people still find bikinis a lot more "wrong" than shirts. Which is bullshit.

I wasn&#39;t aware that admiring a woman&#39;s beauty and/or sex appeal is now "sexist".

[Janus]

[QUOTE]One thing about Che that I&#39;ve always respected was that he was ruthless. If something had to be done to further the revolution then he did it.

Yes, I&#39;m well aware of Che&#39;s pragmatism and ruthlessness. I only meant gallantry and chivalry in the broadest sense or in other words brave and determined. I think this is what won him respect from the rest of the world because he was a man who was deeply committed to his beliefs and was determined to accomplish his goals. I merely used the worlds chivalry and gallantry to reflect on his dashing manner as a military and political leader. Look at it from this perspective: Here was a man representing a third world nation who had the strength of will and the guts to stand up for what he believed in even if it meant antagonizing strong opponents such as the US.

[carlito]

Im thinking maybe that&#39;s what che would say if he were here amongst us :D

[Tyler Durden]

thats probley the worse che merchandise ive ever seen. Its a shame :(
