Dieter Zetsche over at Mercedes Benz loses his mind.

Nice job picking a murdering, Marxist, racist jackass as your corporate symbol, Dieter.

Quote from the Marxist hero:

"The Negro is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent." - Che Guevara

Could someone have counseled against this, given all that embarassing "master race" history you have over there, Dieter?  Is it a good idea to insult a part of your customer base?

 Frivolities Dieter?  Like an absurdly expensive German luxury car?

Update:  Daimler Benz fakes an apology over the use of the Guevara image.  Hey guys, the image is a symbol that stands for more than the general notion of revolution.  Guevara stands for a blood thirsty communism that many people are still suffering from.  Try again.
