It's funny, that everyone complains only about the fact, that Che is more popular than Coke. For me utilising the image of the guy who invented concentration camps, personally shot hundreds of his political enemies and signed letters to his mother as "Stalin 2" is not controversial - it is stupid. I know that for some uneducated kids Che is a symbol of "revolution" (mostly against their parents) but why don't someone make a campaign that would educate people about Che's crimes against humanity and shady past?
Obvioulsy, the idea comes from the old "oh no mom! you messed up my shirt! why did you wash it". So, the young son/daughter goes to college (in Brazil, of course) and learns Marx and feels himself/herself a revolutionary. But the t-shirt gets all dirty and haired. And his/her mom, with no respect for symbols cleans it up. The point is not really that there is the all famous Che iconic, high contrasted pic. They needed an image, normally with hair, known to people and with a big connection to the ones who tidy up the clothes of the family. Don't you think?
