A cousin had him on the other day. "Cool tee-shirt", I said.
"Yeah!"
"Is that a picture of someone, or just a painting?", I asked.
"It's a photograph", he assured me.
"Who's?"
"Don't know his name, but he's an older Hollywood star."
A Marxist as the icon of a Consumeristic Society. Wonder if El Che would have appreciated the irony.

I'm sure he's spinning in his grave even as we speak.
you just stated the fact and the fact that i was so inspired by him after reading his motorcycle diaries and i could not event flaunt one t-shirt coz it means a whole different thing now among the thousand wannabees and for sure most of them don't him know his revolutionary ideas or his revolutionary life.
yes it does hurt a cord.
Rayna - Oh, that is ironic! It's interesting how time and generation change people's perceptions, isn't it??
LOL
And Shakespeare is a Hollywood script writer?
Funny, too funny. You have such great insight on the world around you. :)

Sounds like the young people in India are no different than here in the USA - just as clueless!
I love irony; it forces us not to take ourselves too seriously.
I see his face all over Mexico but I honestly know nothing about the man.

I KNOW! Can you believe it?
Although, I like his beret... ;p j/k <3
Now that's funny!
I wouldn't be caught dead wearing his ugly face on my body. Just the thought of other people wearing his face makes me a tad ill.
That's wild. I don’t understand why anyone would wear clothing with a photo of someone they didn't know.
An old Hollywood star? That's funny. Or crazy. I've never seen photos of him before!
Why on flip-flops though? It's not like anyone's going to see your face there!
Ironic indeed!!
Love the irony, hadn't really thought of it before. Very well pointed out!
Kids!!! Definitely clueless!!
And I never could understand why someone would want to wear anothers' face on their clothing??
Ironic for sure!!

@ Debra - I am sure he would be
@ P@ul@mi - it does hurt, doesn't it. Most people who wear him don't even know his name.
@ Margot - and his face has become such an icon in capitalistic India.
@ Dorte - but naturally
@ Jules - thank you
@ Alex - which is such a pity, isn't it?
@ Cinette - if I do pick them up, it would be purely for the irony
@ Clarissa - but you are not wearing him, are you?
@ Leigh - crazy, isn't it?
@ Diane - or pointless.
@ Marjorie - stay away from India in that case- you see him everywehre
@ Holly - me neither. Guess it is a cool thing to do
@ Julie - you are missing nothing. Though it is a nice image
@ Oddyoddyo13 - search me. But I had to take the photograph
@ Jemi - very
@ Al - I always grin when I see his face on someone's chest
@ SueAnn - and not a very pretty face, either
