Communism isn’t cool
Mercedes getting flak for their use of Che to promote car sharing. The C63 AMG now looks a lot less cool.

You would think that if they wanted a picture of a mass murderer they could have found a photo of Hitler somewhere in the Bundesrepublik. Maybe they could Photoshop a picture of him wearing a Che T-shirt.

How about a big picture of Alfred E. Newman in the background.
Dieter, your shareholders want you to sell more cars and show a profit. Everything else is distraction from your job. Pipe dream on your own time.

I think ridiculing Che is OK. While a Mercedes logo in place of his usual red star is not as photogenic as bullet holes, it is better than his more common representations. And to know his corpse is spinning in his grave over it makes me happy.

Share this car, or this murderous thug will execute your family?

I would not be at all surprised to find that Che actually had a Mercedes. It would be so like him.
It changed my life when some asshole filmmaker revealed to a candid world that Che rode a Norton. Then, Sacco and Vanzetti had one too. That hurt. But J.L. Norton belonged to the Salvation Army, which evens things out.
Doctor Z is due to start ringing that bell real soon.

Ahem.
Using a dead communist revolutionary to sell luxury automobiles?
Now THAT’S the most pee-your-pants-laughing example of good capitalism I’ve seen in ages!
Oh, Dear God, PLEASE let this go viral on Youtube! Whole herds of *Occupy Whatever* parasites will be killing themselves!
(That’s not just a good thing, that’s a great thing!)

The thought just now hit me like a freight train:
Finally. A corporate executive who just might be truly worthy of a multi-million dollar bonus.
I need a drink.
