I believe I'm getting a mixed message...

What is the deal with the middle finger salute becoming a pose for the camera? Ugly. Can't wait for that trend to fade away.

You'll be dead sooner, dearie.

The rude gesture only reflects back upon the person doing it.

There comes a point in one's life when one becomes hopelessly out of touch with what's socially acceptable among friends.

Obviously nobody is suggesting that you bring that mug to work or flip off your boss - unless that's your relationship with your boss & you know it won't offend her.

My cousins and I flip each other off in good fun all the time. It's not a SHOCK & HORROR thing anymore. Just because some old humorless person says it is, doesn't make it so.

Old taboos die hard. I am never phased by words nor gestures.

I think the 'middle finger salute' is seen a lot in photos nowadays because so many pictures are taken without the subject's consent.

There's always a place for juvenile crudity and low-class behaviour

Until recently, displaying the middle finger salute to a news photographer was a guarantee the picture would not be published or shown on tv. Not so now.
