Target Corporation recently pulled a CD case that featured a photograph of Latin American revolutionary, Che Guevara. They silly as hell, I used to work for them, fyI Customers complained about the cover of the CD, which was on Target-branded items being sold in the store. Guevara’s image has become a popular fashion statement and his familiar image is seen on T-shirts and posters. While some hold Guevara in high regards for his role in the Cuban revolution, others criticize Guevara for his violent tactics. “What next? Hitler backpacks? Pol Pot cookware? Pinochet pantyhose? Target gives this monster a pass, while using common sense on almost everything else it sells,” Investors Business Daily wrote in an editorial on Dec. 13. Target issued an apology for the Guevara/Target-branded items. “It is never our intent to offend any of our guests through the merchandise we carry…We have made the decision to remove this item from our shelves and we sincerely apologize for any discomfort this situation may have caused our guests.”
