Mass Murdering Cultural Icons of the Future

Che Guevara is vile. His revolutionist thoughts and ideas led to the slaughter of millions. If you truly believe that wearing a shirt with his face on makes you a symbol of counterculturism and socialist oh-so-cool, then this post is probably not for you. If you knew even a little about this man, you may think twice before donning your beret with the hammer and sickle and wearing your red shirt bearing his infamous unshaven mugg, because wearing this image is about as inappropriate as doing a goose-step at a Bar Mitzvah.

However, this post isn’t about the past. This is about the future. So I spent some time considering the vile leaders of the past and present who will in some way become apart of the next generation’s lives:

Kroks

In an effort to relaunch the brand, Croc will aim their famous product at their largest market, the Afrikaaner. The Groot Krokodil range will be a best seller, ensuring every boer has the comfort of plastic beneath his feet.

I can like to be comfortable

Vodka Stalin

With communist-chic currently en vogue, one smart marketing executive will see the true meaning behind Stalin’s Purges:

Pass me the bucket, peasant.

Pass me the bucket, peasant.


Osama Bed Linen

That’s just his name isn’t it?

Rest in Peace!

Rest in Peace!


My point to all this: Do some critical thinking before you just wear whatever others are, or whatever is considered in this season. You may just save yourself from being considered an ignorant douche-bag.
