Pathetic Irony

The Director of Credit Card marketing at my company is wearing a Che Guevara shirt today. He's trying to pull off the Ryan Seacrest/Ben Mulroney look, with the shirt under a suit jacket.

I wonder if he even knows who Che Guevara is.

Right now I'm debating whether I should point out to him that his choice of profession doesn't appear to mesh well with his display of communist fashion.

If he comes for drinks with the co-workers tonight, I'll explain to him that Che Guevara was a mass murderer. I'll also explain that I'm an expert on all things Che, since I've seen Evita.

I think a history lesson would be in order - for anyone that owns such a shirt.

His judgment is simply terrible. I think he should have been sent home to put on more appropriate attire.

Typical Torontonian. Seriously concerned about political fashion statements. What a waste!

Now that the Cold War is over, the revolutionary communist look is 'in' - it shows how irrelevant Communism has become. It is ironic that someone is making huge profits off the Communist iconography!

Speaking of the mass murdering liberal icon, did you ever figure out how to order one of these?

Che Guevara a "mass murderer?" More revisionist history, eh? From Cuban exiles?

Come on, guys, lighten up.
