Interestingly enough, the photographer of this fine image passed away a few weeks ago...

From the article:

"We can't attack everyone with lances like Don Quixote, but we can try to maintain the ethics (of Guevara's legacy)"

What ethics?

What legacy?

Ethics and Legacy:

"To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary," The Argentine Ernesto "Che" Guevara declared. "These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. We must create the pedagogy of the paredon"

Better red than dead? How about both! I love the picture of Che at room temperature (although his fawning admirers will probably try to pass off the bloody wounds as stigmata).

The photograph of "Che" Guevara that I should like to have seen was never taken: the picture would have shown this coldhearted murderer begging for his own worthless life: "Don't shoot, I am 'Che.'"

What ethics? "Capture it - kill it - enslave it - torture it - rob it - rape it - mutilate it - beat it - eat it." Sort of like the Constitution, except with Che pointing a machine gun in everyone's face forever. And instead of that goal of a city on a hill, an alternate goal of an underwater mountain composed of the skeletons of Cubans who die trying to flee.

No wonder people confuse Che with Christ. At least those with an almost superhuman aptitude for stupidity.

I think it will fund her bank account in the Cayman Islands or Switzerland when the system crumbles under its own weight.
How dare she talks about suing others when those who were dispossesed of the fruit of their labors when Castro took away their property don't have any laws to protect them.

Here are some rare Che photos I like. Che "Guayaba" eating a hot dog while his mother approvingly looks on.

Che and the Monster playing the all-American sport of golf. Any connection to O.J. Simpson and golfing here?

Here is the best Che photo ever

Che's skull appears in an academic website at Indiana State University
http://sapphire.indstate.edu/~ramanank/morphology.html
It states:
"Finally, in looking at Che's skull, one can see the legacy of the Neandertals. Notice his strong browridge and mildly developed chin. It's almost as if he could fit in between Shanidar I and the Saint Cesaire Neandertal."

Communists claiming property rights?

You give back what you stole, and then you can have all your Che pictures.

Until then: All your Checomemierda are belong to us

I thought Che was playing centerfield for the Bosox.

Let us not forget that the Deutsche Post Office was obliged to pay a royalty for using the Fuehrer's image on the Reich's postage stamps at a rate of so many pfennigs per stamp. Since billions of stamps were printed annually, Hitler became a very rich man through this levy. (It was the Post Office's largest expenditure). I should not be surprised if Castro, who has appeared dozens of times on Cuban stamps, also collects a royalty per unit. Tyrants have always capitalized on their image and their hapless subjects have been obliged not merely to worship the image but to pay for the privilege.

"Center for Che Guevara Studies", now, there is a low budget project..., open one day, close in two.

To sum up the beauty of the downed-che graphic:

"che-ckmated!"

What will it take to reunite che with fidel and raul? 2 bullets.

Lotsa luck, puta, with getting images that you have never controlled, have no license for, no claim to, and no standing to to say anything about. The rest of the world is not like Castro's Cuba, where property rights exist only at the whim of the dictator.

"Communists claiming property rights?"

Funniest line in this thread so far :)!
