Guevara's granddaughter to appear in PETA campaign
2009-06-19
Apparently revolution runs in the family.
Let's hope murder doesn't also ...
The granddaughter of Cuban revolutionary leader Ernesto "Che" Guevara is the face of a new PETA campaign touting "the vegetarian revolution."

Twenty-four-year-old Lydia Guevara is seminude in the campaign, wearing only camouflage pants, a red beret, and bandoliers of baby carrots.
That's ART, that is. You can tell because of the artistically draped vegetation.
PETA spokesman Michael McGraw says the campaign will debut in Argentina in October and will be seen internationally. It's PETA's first vegetarianism campaign in South America.

#12  Atomic Conspiracy: Let me add that the Argentinians produce some of the finest beef this side of Kobe. It is blocked out of the US unless heavily processed, like canned corned beef, because their typical beef is as good as our finest Angus.

And while you're at it, Argentina is the fifth largest producer of wine in the world, and its quality is skyrocketing. They brought some vines over from France that produce superb grapes, but do not thrive in Europe, and they love the Argentine climate.

Their best wines are still hard to get in America, because the entire lot are bought up by wine lovers before they can get on the shelves.

#7  Nice carrots!

So, how many hominids did Grandpa Che kill? After all, people are animals too.

#5  Now, c'mon, think about this a minute, boys. Would you rather have her (a) running about South America shooting people and blowing stuff up, or (b) running about South America seminude?

I vote "(b)" especially if she's got the shape for it.

#4  FYI, this is the story of Che's well-deserved demise from a seldom seen point of view: that of the Bolivian military who tracked down and eliminated the murdering beast.

#3  This debuts in Argentina, known among other things for the world's highest per capita beef consumption and for its large incidence of disappeared pinkos.

I'm sure all those gauchos and slaughterhouse workers will be persuaded to abandon their anti-cow habits and take up carrot farming.

#1  This is exquisite, a perfect storm of media culture idiocy: stylized nudity, 60s radical chic, and brain-dead eco-wackery rolled into a single mediocre photo.
