Kids Today
I had a couple of hours to kill between classes today, so I headed over to El Pollo Loco in the hopes of finding a relatively healthy lunch. While waiting in line, I couldn't help but notice the young girl in front of me. She looked to be somewhere between 13 and 15, lively and cute, but it was her t-shirt that caught my attention. It featured an image of Che Guevara. Now living in southern California, I see people donning such shirts every day, and I often wonder how many of them really understand the message that Che's image conveys. So, noticing that the line at El Pollo Loco was going nowhere fast, I said hello to the girl and asked her, "What interests you about Che Guevara?" Her response: "Who is Che Guevara?"
I was speechless.

Kris,
Speechless because you already knew the answer, or speechless because you were surprised by the answer?
Che has turned into a huge capitalist perpetuated by the ailing left's fashionable practices.
I get the same sort of feeling (although not in the "why would you be wearing a murdering thief on your shirt" way) when I see the kids wearing the Von Dutch gear: no, he wasn't a clothing designer...

A bit further-- Jay Nordlinger explained that the children of people Guevera murdered are still living in the U.S. Just imagine their horror as they watch kids like this parade a serial-killers image, the image of the man who killed their parents, as a matter of pride. Disgusting.
