Some Good News and Some Bad News on the Marketing Front.

First, the good news.

Although I missed it on Friday, Chuck pointed it out in an email.  42 years ago, on 9 October 1967, Che Guevara was stood up in front of a wall and shot without trial (hey, it was Che who said,  "judicial evidence is an archaic bourgeois detail" so he had no objections, I'm sure), and a very lucrative t-shirt and poster marketing idea was born.

I hope the godless little communist enjoys the capitalist irony of that as he cleans the latrine tanks of Fiddler's Green with his tongue (I've been told that's his current job in Hell).

Now the bad news.  Do Pikachu's lords and marketing masters know about this?

Marketing taken to the next level...?  Prolly not, just extremely bad taste on someone's part.

H/t, Boquisucio for the landmine pic.

You have got to be kidding me!  Where was THAT thing found?!?   That is cruel beyond words if it's in the kind of place children are likely to find it.  Not that we need reminding of that sort of evil, but jeez, that's almost as bad as toys with explosives in them...
 
Hmmm.  "Playground equipment" being offered to home schoolers by the teachers' union?
 
Hm...are teacher's unions that vile, and are homeschoolers that illiterate and culturally ignorant?
Discuss amongst yourselves.

I want some with Mudkips on them, for the golf courses around here.
