E-Bay and the Double Standard

As if we needed further proof that Cuban Americans are the one minority group whose sensibilities may be trampled with impunity, it's official. Ebay has responded to Cubanazos which has been taking the lead in the fight against Che novelty items. Here's the money quote:

After a thorough review of the information you sent, it was determined that Che Guevara items will continue to be permitted on the site, and will not be added to our Offensive Material Policy at this time.

In actuality, the Che novelty items- stuffed dolls, finger puppets, refrigerator magnets, etc...- would seem to fall under their stated policy automatically. But, heck, I guess some animals are more equal than others.
To the Hall of Shame with Ebay!
