CARACAS, VENEZUELA — Business has never been better for Eudis Carrillo. Sure, he’s heartbroken over the death of his hero Hugo Chavez, but there’s precious little time for sentiment: Hats and T-shirts of the late Venezuelan president are flying off the shelves at his streetside stand faster than he can keep them in stock.
Ditto demand for Chavez tattoos, Chavez earrings, Chavez mugs and talking Chavez action figurines. One can even buy Chavez boxer shorts and panties, part of a cult of personality that began while the former paratrooper was still alive, but exploded in the week since he succumbed to cancer.

Hopefully there will be plenty of parodies quickly, so we don’t end up with Hugo t-shirts like those annoying Che ones.
I can think of a lot of uses for the Chavez action figure.
Chavez chunks anyone?
There's money to be made off the idiots for the people who sell those t-shirts.
Yes but, will every pair of drawers be DNA-tested to insure that the stains really are genuine?
The underwear might be ok after a few skid marks.
Today I started tattoo removal with a laser, so I can get a new tattoo.
Damn that hurts!
What, no Chavez toilet paper? They’re slacking...
Hugo Chavez memorabilia hot sale: $100 for a jar full of Hugo’s urine with an American flag submerged in it. For another $50 bucks, they’ll even smear the lid with some of Hugo’s last bowel movement. For $300 you can buy a tooth from many of those who apposed Hugo’s rule. Of course there were thousands that he had assassinated so you’ll receive a huge box of teeth to remember how compassionate towards his countrymen Hugo really was. The ideas for Hugo Chavez memorabilia is endless so use your imagination and submit your request to the Hugo Chavez official fan club and keep the World’s tyrant movement alive. The obozo hussein will be envious of how popular Hugo is after his death but not be out done by Hugo, Americans can expect obozo hussein to try to out tyrant the dead tyrant, Hugo Chavez.
Comrade Chavez is alive and well and working at a Burger King in Kalamazoo, Michigan...
Only $100? Michael Moore or Jane Fonda would pay $10,000 for it.
Now that he has passed and will no longer need that 2 billion he stole from everybody...
I could use some Chavez underwear. I would drop p*ss on it several times a day.
Rather timely that our New Pope, Francis, will bring much pride to the peoples of South America and especially Argentina. This will take most of the wind out of the “loss” of Hugo. Saw a cartoon of the Devil welcoming Hugo to Hell.
Who would want a tattoo of an a$$hole ... maybe progressives on their forehead or right hand.
remember, Hugo was a tyrant of the POUR people. They’re so poor down there they spell it POUR and $100 to them might as well be $10,000.
