Castro quits; still wears Adidas

BBC NEWS | Americas | US urges reform as Castro quits

You have to give it to the aging revolutionary-he still has suave manners and an enduring sense of style. Even at the sunset of his career, Fidel is sporting an oh so fitting and elegant Adidas tracksuit.

We learn from the best!

    The irony is that it appears to be real Adidas, not Abibas. I thought communist revolutionaries weren’t supposed to be brand-conscious.

    Well, he (like me) is a very accomplished man-surely he can afford the real thing! After all, he is a VERY high-ranking Sovok!

    This is a true story: I recently found out my brother has a brain tumour, and this is the first thing that’s made me laugh in days! (Maybe I have one too; don’t know… After all, it’s taken me this long to even find your website! Maybe I need an MRI…)

    Anyway, spasibo so much.
