Oskar's Pizzeria, Otavalo, Ecuador. A pizza restaurant targeting kids and teens, with placemats hawking the local equivalent of the Gap. Their mascot: a cartoon Che Guevara with pizza slices for eyes.
Yes, that's Che, the face that launched a thousand college t-shirts, telling you to settle your bill at the front.
I think it's safe to say that when your leader has been reduced to a cartoon giving instructions to teens on how to pay for their capitalist fast food, the revolution's over.
Love it! :-D
That's Che?
I assume it was more obvious on the other merchandise.
Yes, it's definitely Che. The entire restaurant is decorated with pictures of Che, quotes from Che, etc. I didn't want to take a lot of pictures of the place while we were there, because we were the only non-locals in the place and I didn't want to make any more of a scene. ;)
The Che-ness of the brand image is more obvious after you've looked at the pizzeria's multiple black-and-white portraits of Che in his star beret. Admittedly the smileyface doesn't make for a clear resemblance.
