Bob’s right. Given the — how you say? — likelihood of confusion, this clearly is a case of trademark, not copyright, infringement.

You’re right, Mannie. Let’s change that from ‘people’ to ‘French people.’

Quite ironic as the real ‘Che’ would’ve been quite dismayed to find that his image was being used to make money for capitalistic swine.

Too bad the judge can’t make these idiots stand in the middle of a square someplace, so people with common sense could laugh and point.

You’re insulting dogs, Bob!

No, Kimsch. Clearly the copyright holders feel that people will mistake the dog for Che. It’s an easy mistake to make.

That doesn’t count as parody? It certainly should.
