hindu art on t shirts etc. what do you feel about it?

[kannuma]

all of a sudden, in the last 10 years id say, there has been such a huge interest in asian art and depicting them on t shirts/trousers/bags etc etc. many fashion houses(well known as well as smalls cale) use hindu art on their clothing/accesories. for example they have an image of shiva on a t shirt and the likes.
many people think its fashionable, and wear it simply because it's in vogue. some fashion houses put images of lakshmi on bikinis/toilet seats(sad but true). when there is an upoar about it, they apologise saying the patterns were what they liked and didnt know it held religious importance(what idiot doesn't know that religious symbols mean something to the people of that religion).
How do you feel about seeing images of hindu gods and godesses/ hindu symbols on clothing and accesories. Are you offended? HOw do you view others using something religious merely for the fashionable value of it?

Personally i do get offended sometimes. I feel like they do not respect what i hold sacred. But on the other hand, imo hindu philosophy says that such things are transient etc.

plz discuss how you feel about such things
