    Che Guevara's hair sold for £50,000 - Telegraph

    Che Guevara's hair sold for £50,000

    By Duncan Hooper and agencies
    Last Updated: 8:15am BST 26/10/2007

    The hair was collected by Gustavo Villoldo, a former CIA operative and Cuban exile who was involved in Guevara's capture in Bolivia.

    Mr Villoldo supervised the burial in a common grave in Bolivia to prevent Guevara's body being removed to Cuba and coming a rallying point for other left wing revolutionaries.

    He claims to have taken the hair to prove he had completed his mission, although it has never been scientifically confirmed as belonging to Guevara.

    £50,000 for hair? I'm beginning to believe Ernesto Guevara was justified in overthrowing capitalism!

    Believe it or not, here where I live, many Hispanics look at che as a hero and a prophet. I saw a fascimile of it's face, on a poster in a resale shop on Port street here in CC. Needless to say, the dorks that ran that shop, have now been busted for selling hundreds of thousands of Dollars, of stolen merchandise. These people (criminals) ran nothing more, thana Fencing operation - posing as a resale shop. Both - being Hispanic, are crying to the aclu that their shop was raided and are trying to say they were picked by the Police-because of the color of their skin. More criminals trying to play the "race card." >:-((

    I'd probably pay more for Slon's hair (I thought he was bold) but I'm not rich enough.
    I know teenagers think Che is some kind of a romantic revolutionnary hero. It is never mentionned that he executed 180 prisonners without a hesitation and wanted to shoot eveybody who did not agree with him. He's nothing more than a war criminal. You can buy T shirts with him on it, or tattoos, it's like wearing Milosevitch or Polpot on your clothes if you ask me.

    I whole-heartedly agree. There is no difference, other than the idiot pictured, between these two...

    Maybe all those dopehead shops in the mall that sell bongs, rolling papers and incense burners should start carrying Adolf shirts right beside the Che ones.
