✖ Via PAPERMAG: Rebranding America: Alex Bogusky (Crispin Porter + Bogusky)
Bogusky : “Che Guevara has become T-shirt shorthand for counterculture — most people in a Che T are oblivious to who he really was and are just celebrating the rebel in us all. In reality, Che went from being a doctor to a murderer in a wrongheaded, desperate attempt to change the world.
