Churchill giving people the finger(s)
The Stockholm Metro had a feature today about different signs and gestures that can be misstaken depending on where you use them. Among other things they claimed that Churchill used to show a V sign the wrong way for half of the war until someone pointed out that it was very rude. This I find extremely hard to believe or is there a particle of truth there?

The only pictures of Churchill I've seen are the "correct" way round. Of course this could all be part of the conspiracy.

President GHW Bush made this mistake in Australia, IIRC.

Come to think of it, lately I've been seeing a few political figures flipping birds on TV and the net. Could this be a new photoshop revolution?
