What the hell is wrong with Che shirts? I own one, it's not the Rage Against The Machine version of Che's picture, but even if it were, who cares? I know who he is, I read his diary and did a thesis/report on him in high school. Please allow me to wear a shirt with a depiction of some one who I think has accomplished a lot in his life without being labeled a douchebag.

Well, you'll only really be labeled a douche by the minority, if that helps you sleep well.

No, it's more like, if you've ACTUALLY studied Che Guevara and know who he is, it's probably okay. To 99% of the people who wear it it's the political equivalent of a Bob Marley poster on their dorm room wall.

I might actually be the only person in this thread who is actually qualified to confirm Nath's statistic. When I was a political organizer for a socialist group, I used to try to go up and talk to people with Che shirts or rage against the machine shirts. I also tried talking to people with different political punk band patches. I had a markedly better success rate with random people who looked mostly normal.
The people sporting clothes with political images were all big time fakers.
