Who is Che Guevara?

A friend asked me the other day, "Who is Che Guevara?"

I said, "Oh, he's this guy originally from Argentina."

"Well, what did he do? What's his claim to fame?"

I looked at her straight in the eyes and replied, "He invented the T-Shirt."

"Ohhhh...yeah, I know that guy then. That's cool!"

che guevara is political james dean.

looked good, died young. class-A icon.

this rich kid personally pulled the trigger on political prisoners and is resposible for the execution of many more.

but hey, who's perfect ? who could be better in "motorcycle diaries" and on every dipshit's t-shirt ?

There was a good article in the Economist this month about Guevara, actually--saying more or less the same thing. Agreed, his image has been upped substantially.

Plus he invented the T-Shirt.
