Example photo[edit]

This gesture (and I mean exactly that one) was used in an ice tea commercial (you know which brand, yeah right, the white-on-red one) here in Europe not long ago. I kid you not. I didn't know that it normally denotes "loser", though. =D -andy 77.191.197.78 (talk) 08:18, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
