There are many people out there who prefer the quiet and peaceful strumming of a sitar over the electric rhythms of a guitar, and for those people I bring to you the Sitar Hero t-shirt from TeeFury.
The Sitar Hero tee features Lord Ganesha (Hindu God of success) rocking out on his sitar, with his devil horns up in the air. While this play on the popular video game Guitar Hero is meant to be funny, many might find it offensive.
