Let’s face it. Fidel Castro is either dead or headed that way. So, you wacky exiles, let’s head for la isla, filch el comandante‘s body, and bring it home.
Here are Miami New Times‘s suggestions for the cadaver:
1. Use him in a campaign ad for the strong-mayor initiative. The slogan: “What Fidel did for Cuba, Carlos Alvarez can do for Miami.”
2. Lay him out, cover him in plastic, and rent him for $2000 per hour as a beach chair at the Delano.
We’re thankful for you. Are you thankful for us?
We feel thankful for our staff and for the privilege of fulfilling our mission to be an unparalleled source of information and insight in Miami. We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community.
Help us continue giving back to Miami.
3. Drop him at Elián’s relatives’ house and call it an even swap.
4. Shoot a movie, Weekend at Fidel’s, in which two Miami geeks discover the old man’s body in a beach house and then set out on a bender including a blow-up Paris Hilton doll.
5. Prop him in the concourse at Dolphin Stadium for a Marlins game and see if attendance finally tops 10,000.
