Che Guevara Image Not On in the US

If you’ve ever visited the US, you may have shopped at a Target store – the Beetle likes them very much. Late December 2006, Target got into a bit of trouble for selling a CD carrying case with a picture of Che Guevara on it. US Critics said that the image represented a Marxist revolutionary, a murderer and a totalitarian symbol – in other words, the product was said to make fashionable a person partially responsible for bringing Fidel Castro’s Communist rule to Cuba. French owned Target apologised and withdrew the item from their US stores. Hhhmmm, did I say French? What’s going to happen to all those Che Guevara T-shirts students like to wear?
