Many Americans including me as a little kid never forgot our own Vice President Nelson Rockfeller of the Republican Party extended his famous middle finger at people during the Ford presidency (Gerald Ford) - http://iconicphotos.wordpress.com/2009/10/29/rockefeller-gives-middle-finger/

Many countries use gestural sign of profanity to express their thoughts and feelings -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_profanity

Americans usually use the gestural sign for "okay" which consider truly offensive in other countries. You would be punched by someone else when you use "OK" gestural sign - http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1158504

Other places considered the gestural sign for "victory" to be offensive -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_sign

Will the American Sign Language Teacher Association (ASLTA) and National Association of the Deaf (NAD) and other linguistic departments across the United States send out the letter of correction in dispute with the media use of middle finger as part of "little sign language"?
