    He was one of the most despicable and ruthless murderers of the revolution. As close to a hero as Hussein or Amin.

    Just to add, and clarify. That lame excuse for a human is responsible for the deaths of at least half my family and ten thousand of my countrymen, so things like this hit a nerve. For that reason, if anyone wants to flame me for these posts, they can flame empty air because I won't be baited into a political argument or responding to the people who have no clue what a butcher this so called hero really was.

    I went to his mausoleum the other day.
    He is considered a hero in Cuba.
    Just like Winston Churchill is considered a hero in England, although he was also responsible for a lot of deaths.

    One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

    Way to go neatorama! Posting and promoting the cute commercial characterization of a racist, bigoted, homophobic mass murderer! Let's see if you guys can dig up some awesome Pol Pot collectibles!

    awesome.

    I read it more as a spoof of Che than a celebration of him. These cartoons are a commentary on the commercial characterization of Che. Cmon, just think about how absurd it is to show Che punching out a lion or driving a dog sled.

    I would like to see lil Pol Pot, lil Churchil, lil Amin and all of the other names mentioned in the above posts

    Oh good. Next we can have L'il Pol Pot, executing people with glasses for being intellectuals, and L'il Fidel imprisoning his playmates, and L'il Hitler gasing his buddies Izzy and Reuben.

    lil pol pot? lil stalin? really? is this the best you can come up with? If you wanna talk about mass murderers being characterized in a cartoon then let's include lil reagan, lil carter, lil bush I and II and lil cheney. Read up on latin american history and then tell me how "evil" che was compared to the number of right-wing dictators openly supported and recognized by the USA. I won't even include south-east asia because your small brains probably don't have the capacity for so much information.

    Wow, I thought I was going to be flamed big time. I must say I'm surprised that the majority of posters appear to have passed on the kool aid.

    I was dissapointed that one of my favorite actors, Benicio del Toro elected to perpetrate the distortion of this 'hero'.

    Thank you Chefan.

    I've always been amazed how Che has become such a pop culture icon. I see this post as a response to that, rather than glorifying what he did.

    At Chefan...

    Except nobody posted li'l Reagan or the others here on Neatorama.

    With your logic, if somebody idolizes Dahmer than it's okay for me to idolize Gacy.

    That logic is pretty disgusting too.

    Awww, such a cute little mass-murderer.

    They should have one of him killing innocent people as well! Or one where he travels in time and meets his buddy Little Osama!

    Chefan -

    I see a sickness runs deep within you. Che was a murderer and you are a fan....truly sickening.

    Chefan, he also encouraged "many Vietnams" throughout the world. I think that's slightly more evil than amything Pinochet or Peron could muster.

    Telling people to go do research on this or that subject is both lazy and a stall tactic. I'll be glad to debate you any day.

    So he just a little less of a murderer...BOY you really are off. Sounds like you have such a big brain that you have no problem with his killings. You must be one of those open minded types. You know...so open minded that your brain fell out.

    if you think Chefan has any gravitas you are mistaken. I suspect though you know and I know the opposite is true.

    They did a little Hitler spot on Robot Chicken. He ended up taking all the other childrens' desk in class.

    Yes, Churchill was horrible. Let's all ignore the fact that if England hadn't participated in WWII, then there would be no Jews left on the face of the Earth, a whole culture WHICH SPAWNED MOST MODERN RELIGIONS and PREDATED ALL RELIGIONS BESIDES IDOLATRY. Let's just ignore that and say that Churchill was terrible just to be an idiot.

    Great post about Churchill being comparable to Che. Please learn to read and interpret historical information for yourself. You are an idiot.

    I have a Mexican classmate from high school that used to idolize Che on his facebook page. But he has lately taken all those photos down. Now they are replaced with photos of him posing with Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, senator Mike Pryor, gov Mike Beebe, and other famous Arkansas democrats.

    His favorite quotes are still scattered among lil' murderers like Fidel Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

    Interesting that he now feels he's an American democrat. Like Jim said, so open minded his brain must have fell out.

    He's Dead! Get over it! The only people glorifying this loser are stupid white kids! I know for a fact because my brother-in-law has a huge poster of Che, and I also lived in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Williamsburg, Brooklyn is filled with spoiled, Trust Fund-hipster-brats-never had a job-never bathing-good for nothing-wimpy-white kids. They all worship that communist murderer. By the way, I can say white this and that. I'm white. Stupid white kids.

    Why don't we create li'l George W., who went on an 8-year rampage of murder, mayhem and mumbo jumbo
