UPN's Censors Let Obscene "Shocker" Gesture Get By On Veronica Mars
Two guys talking about getting some action flashed each other the "shocker" hand-gesture, one of the more obscene gestures out there. So obscene, in fact, that a high school had to re-do its entire yearbook when 34 students were pictured flashing it.
I'm not a prude. Seriously, I'm not. I'm just sayin'. If you can't show the almost-cute-and-dainty middle finger, you really oughtn't be able to show this one. It's as crude as they come... except that most people don't know what it means.
CONTENT WARNING on the link above, which describes what the gesture is supposed to mean. It's basically a variation of the British two-finger salute, if you know what that's all about.
