A few days old, but Target caved to pressure from the WSJ, IBD and others to remove a Che Guevara item from their shelves. Link.
"What next? Hitler backpacks? Pol Pot cookware? Pinochet pantyhose?" wrote Investor's Business Daily in an editorial earlier this month, citing the Guevara case as a model of "tyrant-chic."
Even the left is happy with the decision, saying Che would never have approved of his mug appearing on Target swag. Incidentally, the Che in the Target image had a pair of headphones photoshopped under his natty beret; what do you think he would've been listening to? Rage Against The Machine is probably a little too corporate for him, as well. Maybe Che would've been a This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb fan. Who knows.
