"Hugo Chavez, Che Guevara, Simón Bolívar, and Salvador Allende all meet in Heaven." You'd be forgiven for thinking that was the opening line of a mediocre joke, but it's actually an animated TV spot, put together by Venezuela's state-run TV station, ViVe (http://www.vive.gob.ve/).
According to Foreign Policy, the spot, titled "Goodbye Forever Commander," (http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/03/28/venezuelan_tv_spot_shows_chavez_meeting_che_and_simon_bolivar_in_heaven) features the late Venezuelan leader, who died on March 5 after an extended battle with cancer, passing expressionless through a field of peaceful trees and green grasses.
As mysterious piano music plays in the background, Chavez -- wearing his signature Venezuelan-flag tracksuit -- stumbles across his idols waiting for him by a thatched hut. His mouth falls open in surprise, then turns to a smile as he walks to the group, taking his place among them.
The Miami Herald notes ViVe may be particularly fond of Chavez (http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/03/28/3312181_venezuelan-state-run-tv-shows.html#storylink=addthis), as the leader created the station in 2003.
