Che

Cool - Steven Soderbergh is going to make an epic about Che Guevarra and Benicio Del Toro is going to be Che.

I have always been curious over the power of Che's image in popular culture. Sure, he was a good looking guy with a rough-shod kind of appearance, but why did his image go so far? I am convinced that the majority of people who wear 'Che Shirts' have no clue about his life... not that they wouldn't wear it once they found out about his life... I am just not convinced they know.
