The Revolution will be Machine-Washable!

As a collectivist denizen of darkest Canuckistan myself, I totally heart these. We should make them standard uniform in our military; it would make peacekeeping duties in former Soviet republics just that much more lively, don’t you think? I certainly hope a portion of the proceeds from sales are going to support urban renewal projects in Havana, yet somehow one doubts. They were, after all, hanging up next to the Pink Panther socks, and the Pink Panther is a well-known right-wing Libertarian.
Does his agent know about this?

BlueShoes, according to the Amazon search, they carry 48, count ‘em, 48 different kinds of children’s berets (although it must be said that some of them are not very beret-like, leaning more towards the chocheian or newsboyish end of the hat scale). These particular ones will fit kids of cadet age, but no younger.

Seriously, do any of these people actually know who Che Guevera was?!

Or, come to think of it, the “Palestinian hipster” scarf. Mind you, I’m highly in favour of anything that makes hipsters look stupid.
