no peple will think that your a hippie and beat you up



That box art is so insulting. If someone sticks the fingers up to me like that i would snap them off. Ihave had a few scraps because of people sticking the 2 fingers up to me.

So i guess americans dont do it then lol. As soon as i seen the boxart i thought it was banned for having those 2 fingers sticking up and not because of the mutated fingers.


I wouldnt be surprised if this boxart is changed in the UK

I was talking to my friend today about this, does anyone even use their fingers in that sense anymore? I havn't seen it done in years.

I do. but not very often. If i fall over and my friends laught at me i stick my fingers up at them and laugh. Or if i am teasing someone then i will do it. If someone fucks me off i do it. but very rare

If you do we will greet you with a smile. Peace!!!



I don't think it has anything to do with the European insult, since the "new" boxart is even MORE like the insult.

Also, by what I understand that gesture is viewed in England or France like "giving someone the bird" is viewed in America.

never heard of this (two fingers) being an insult. In the US (as far as I know) it's simply the peace sign, or the number 2 :), or in rare perverted company (ie. around a bunch of guys) you can put two fingers like that and then stick your tounge in between them to simulate eating a girl out - but that's it, never heard of it being an insult.

What exactly does it mean? I know the middle finger means "fuck you" is this basically that or is there something more to it? and if I stick my middle finger up in the UK would it be taken as an insult? or would I just be pointing at something?



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.

@chocoloroco

The peace sign is the other way around kid. unless you are saying peace 2 yourself. If thats the case go to the shrink. Otherwise you are just being insulting sticking you finger up at people.

Oh do Americans stick up the middle finger on its own to insult people
