Burlington Coat Factory promotes t-shirts of communist murderer Che Guevara

BOYCOTT BURLINGTON COAT FACTORY

PROTEST Saturday Dec. 4, 2004 at noon at Burlington Coat Factory stores MIAMI: 11301 NW 12TH Street, Miami, FL 33172 NEW YORK: 707 6th Avenue, NY, NY 10010 LOS ANGELES: 22835 Victory Blvd., WEST HILLS, CA 91307 SAN FRANCISCO: 899 Howard St., San Francisco, CA 94103 WASHINGTON D.C.: 3524 South Jefferson Street Baileys Crossroads, VA 22041

Burlington Coat Factory has become "Burlington Che Factory." The company ran television ads promoting sales of its Che Guevara t-shirts in August (see photo above) and despite complaints was still selling the shirts in its stores nationwide in November. Freestar Media plans to expose this outrage with a video press release to national television news organizations in conjunction with a boycott and protest. Follow the link at the bottom of this page to view Burlington's television ad.

Who was Che Guevara?

Che was a Marxist solider who aided the Cuban revolution. He advocated the philosophy of communism which is responsible for over 100 million murders and he personally supervised the executions of scores of people himself. One of Che's famous quotes was "Hatred is an element of struggle; relentless hatred of the enemy that impels us over and beyond the natural limitations of man and transforms us into effective, violent, selective, and cold killing machines. Our soldiers must be thus; a people without hatred cannot vanquish a brutal enemy."

Learn more about Che below under "Educate Yourself".

Four things you can do:

1. Tell all your friends by e-mail the reason why you won't shop at Burlington Coat Factory.

2. Contact Cuban-American groups and other groups that oppose communism (objectivists, libertarians, republicans, etc.) and ask them to picket the stores on Saturday December 4, 2004 at 12 noon.

3. Contact Burlington Coat Factory and demand BCF fire their advertising agency, Scheer Advertising, and every BCF employee that was aware of, and approved the advertisement or the decision to sell Che shirts in the stores.

4. Sponsor a video press release. As a video production company we can videotape and edit together a 1 minute video press of this story and beam by satellite to TV newsrooms nationwide at very low cost. However a sponsor is needed to cover costs of: acquiring old footage of Che and Cuban executions, and for a national press release and satellite broadcast to TV newsrooms. This may cost between $1,000 and $2,000.

The more the Che's message is watered down the more insignificant he becomes. Who cares.

[wvobiwan]

I think the fact that clueless American kids will be wearing Che's face on their shirts is in fact a tremendous insult to the communist, and his fans.

Che is now equated with Britney Spears in my mind. And that's about right.

[Chad Fairbanks]

OMG! The Communist Che being used by capitalists to sell products! The horror! The horror!

[dead]

These shirts are just a trick to get people to voluntarily identify themselves a clueless jackasses.

Without these shirts, it can take up to thirteen seconds of conversation to conclusively identify people as such.

I like the t-shirt for babies that reads "I tore mommy a new one..."

Wish I'd seen that when my kids were little... sigh.

[rlmorel]

ROTFLMFAO!!!

That is thirteen seconds saved! I tried to talk to my 14 year old nephew wearing one, and why Guevara was not a good guy to have on your shirt, but it was kind of a waste of time. He's a nice kid, but...it was not important to him.

Kind of like teaching a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

responsible for over 100 million murders?

[CaptainAwesome2]

In partnership with Fidel Castro and Nikita Khruschcehv, Ernesto Guevara nearly started World War Three in 1962.

You might . . . when The Motorcycle Diaries reaches cable. 

If you strip away the myth from the man, you will see where we all soon will be," sang Carl Anderson in "Jesus Christ Superstar." Perhaps this is an inappropriate comparison when talking about a communist legend like Ché Guevara, but nonetheless, that's the very strategy Brazilian director Walter Salles uses in his latest movie, "The Motorcycle Diaries."

The film tells how 23-year-old Ernesto Guevara (Gael García Bernal) and his roguish friend Alberto Granado (Rodrigo de la Serna) embark on a road trip across Latin America in the early '50s before facing adulthood. What starts as a college-student adventure trip soon becomes a rich and life-changing experience of self-discovery. Their journey takes them across Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela. Traveling more than 10,000 kilometers in eight months, the two young friends witness the terrible misery and injustice suffered by the good-hearted, hard-working, simple folk of South America.

Their encounters make them question the value of progress as defined by an economy-based world that leaves so many people aside. "The Motorcycle Diaries" offers an unusual vision of the communist revolutionary, an objective and apolitical account of the series of events that inexorably shaped Ernesto into the man he would become.

But then, recent movies, documentaries, haven't done much for Fidel . . .

I believe that the 100 million person death toll is usually attributed to the estimates compiled by The Black Book of Communism. It represents a sum of all people who have died at the hands of communist regimes around the world.

[CaptainAwesome2]

it was nice of the commies to keep the number of people they killed so well rounded.

[Mr. Silverback]

The more the Che's message is watered down the more insignificant he becomes. Who cares.

The thousands of Cubans executed without trial for thinking for themselves will surely be comforted by your words.
