No Che t-shirts! It's from a conservative website, but I am strangely in love with the shirts, although not obviousy for the reasons they are being made in the first place.

The picture on the left is a particularly funny repurposing of the chick-with-gun genre, which is a mainstay of communist propaganda, including cuban propaganda.

I think that the chick is sporting an AK-47 or an American clone, which is like, the most famous communist-designed weapon ever.

The other right-wing t-shirts on this same site are quite hilarious too, although often inadvertantly.



If you look below this message, my location is listed as "Havana, Cuba". I entered that so that i could test this livejournal feature, but in the process I found out more about Google Maps. gmaps has this feature that if you enter a search term, it will first look for returns on it within the geographic area displayed on the screen. "Havana, Cuba" yielded many entries for restaurants named "Havana Cuba", so I decided to pinpoint the geographic area a bit, in order to give Google Maps a chance. Here's what I got.
