"Of a Revolutionary Che Guevara"
I think that Beck is absolutely correct. It is undoubtedly appropriate to compare a Che Guevara t-shirt to a Hitler t-shirt. Any man that is connected with cold-blooded, mass murder should not be glorified on a t-shirt. Think about it, you don’t see t-shirts printed with pictures of Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson or any well-known serial killers; it’s exactly the same thing with Che and they should not be sold. Beck stated that Guevara was on track to kill more people than Hitler; this is what makes it shocking to me that people would wear t-shirts supporting him or anything he believed in. I think that Beck’s sarcastic demeanor and manner of getting his point across really helps him get he attention of the viewers. By taking the side that he did he made it quite apparent of what his view was and was able to support why the t-shirts were wrong with facts and solid ideals. It is not even a question that the Che Guevara t-shirts are inhumane and inappropriate; get them off the shelves!

I agree with you- it's amazing to think how little people actually know about the real Che
ReplyDeleteI think people are overly obsessed with Che's rebel style, and are not aware of what he did. Beck is right on with this issue; and is correct to say it's messed up for people to have a t-shirt with him on it.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU. Well you're the first one i read that agreed with me, but you're right about the jack the ripper and what not.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion that the Guevara shirts are ridiculous and should not be sold. I think that the kids who buy them are simply ignorant to what they are wearing. The people who sell the shirts though, are entirely aware of what they are doing. I'm surprised there isn't more of an uproar about the issue.
ReplyDeleteI agree that people should not be wearing those T-shirts and i do not see how any one could mistake him for someone great.
ReplyDeleteI think the reason Che is somewhat idolized (even though I completely agree that he shouldn't be) is because he openly disagreed with popular culture ideas. He has come to represent the counter-culture movement despite his murdering and other crimes.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Che is a mass murderer and a cold blooded executioner, however that should not overshadow the fact that he was a revolutionary freedom fighter whom wanted his people to be lifted from poverty. I'm not trying to say he's an awesome person, just that one should not only look at one point of a person's life.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Cuff. I mean the kid that has the name Adolf Hitler gets in trouble and has a huge uproar, but Che is like an undercover mass murder. I think they need to stop the production of these t-shirts.
ReplyDeleteIm starting to think that this is a bunch of baloney. WHO CARES what is on a tshirt. There are vulgar images on tshirts all the time. I don't think it is that big of a deal.
