Shame about the guitar, but on the bright side: This seems like a good way to trick conservatives into donating to charities.

  1. celebrity angers conservatives by being normal
  2. celebrity donates merch to charity
  3. charity starts an auction for merch
  4. conservatives buy it

Not only that, they increase demand for the product, driving up the price
