Cho an Icon?

The first “sympathetic” articles are starting to appear, here, among others. With the pics disseminated by NBC, how long do you think until we start seeing t-shirts ala Guevara?

  1. That article is in no way sympathetic to him.

  2. T-shirts aren’t gonna happen.

Cho on t-shirts

You got me. I concede defeat. :stuck_out_tongue:

Damn, no edit for guests! Admit defeat!

Cafepress already has a Cho shirt. No picture of him on it, but the reference is obvious. It’s being described as a gun control shirt.

I really, really hope that we’re all aware that that shirt depicts comedian Margaret Cho.

I know that Otto knows it, because it’s taken from her website.

I sure am. But still, even if I’m wrong and he really does appear on t-sirts, it’s not going to be in the same way as Che. A few jerks will wear them to shock people, and that’ll be about it.

Heck, Che, Mao, etc. murdered a lot more people, why you think Cho won’t be different with the viral tech we got today?

Maybe because Cho isn’t really symbolic of the uprising of the working class to overthrow the bourgeois oppressors.

Guy, he will be projected by elements of our society as symbolic of the oppressed striking a blow against the oppressors, do you need me to paint you a pic?

Not beyond a few wackos, he will not. Ever.

He will continue to be seen as a pathetic person who commited a horrible act of shocking violence, and the took his own life. There will be no masses of supporters, no political or social movement, no nothing. People will treat him the same as they did the Columbine killers.

What social movement has them as its heroes? The truth is, except for to a few pathetic people, he will be seen as a pathetic, violent attacker who took many innocent lives. Other horrible people, like the KKK and the Neo-nazis, will have more followers than Cho will, many hundreds of times over.

He will not be a martyr to anyone, any more so than any other school shooter will.

Do you need me to paint you a picture?

I think you’d be glorifying his image if you did that.

Not to mention that it would be a stonable offence under the blasphemy laws of the new religion I’ve decided to create especially for this thread.

So, do you have to post in this thread to be a member of this new religion?

If so, may I be pope?

When’s the Resurrection due?

I like Nancarrow’s ideas and only want to subscribe to the newsletter. Is there a free t-shirt for subscribing?

Will you print it on a t-shirt?
