One of his friends had to translate, but I believe he said he bought it in Bucharest...

BTW, what has happened to the Frogman? He seems to have vanished.

Isn't he right there on your left sidebar?

I can't imagine they have many illusions about communism in Bucharest.

Explain, please. Or at least give use some links. What is the meme? He bought what in Bucharest?

The meme is an image of Che Guevara with mickey mouse ears. Poking fun at a mistakenly revered leftist icon.

I wouldn't have seen the meme if you hadn't described it just now. Pic too blurry.

Cute idea though.

Saw a T shirt of Che wearing a Che T shirt.

What's so cute about murderous tyrants?

Waiting for Pol Pot to be popular. Spattered blood on the T would be good. Not real blood, just screened on.

Thanks for the info. I once saw a "Cheech and Chong and Che" t-shirt, showing Che between a (somewhat iconic) picture of Cheech and Chong.

I thought the Che Mouse graphic came from
