Target takes on Che-Mart
December 14th, 2006 at 11:23 am . by nukeIn a controversial marketing move, French retailer Target has announced a new line of Che-inspired products including calendars and CD cases. From Investors Business Daily…
Target, the retailer that distinguished itself last year by banning Salvation Army bell-ringers, has topped itself this yuletide by selling Che Guevara CD cases for a little tyrant-chic right under your tree.
The big box retailer has jumped onto the Guevara bandwagon….
And, in a related story…
Sure to feel the competitive pressures, on-line marketer Che-Mart (a wholly-owned subsidiary of The People’s Cube) has pre-emptively announced a “Say No to the holidays this Christmas” campaign that is designed to appeal not only to Che-men, but Che-Women and Che-Kids as well. “We believe our design-your-own Che T-shirts will be a big mover this season,” said Che-Mart spokesman Che Cure Booty, who added, “and at Che-Mart, it’s sweatshop guaranteed.”
Other popular products include the bumper sticker.
“I’d rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than driving with Ted Kennedy.”

Good grief. I printed a copy of the IBD editorial. Header over to see the manager of the local Target in 15 minutes.
