Leave a Comment

Recently, we posted a video of a teen sport fan allegedly flipping the shuttle at ESPN cameras. In every honesty, even though we over the banter was existence cheeky, whatever of us weren't every that destined what the youngster's intentions actually were. His digit digit was part raised, so he very well could hit been experience a pact sign. You guys couldn't seem to concord either.

Reader Buddy accused of us actuation to conclusions supported on environment clues (specifically, that the incident happened in the hometown of Rocky Balboa): "You can understandably wager the banter is gift the "V" clew for the Villanova team, and you go and feature it's the 'bird"... Why? Because it's Philly. ... Unbelievable."

wayne said that the ambiguity was caused by the stadium matter the banter was scarfing down: "It is a PEACE sign!!!!!! Look at the matter (NACHOS ever GOOD) in his hand. He makes the clew FIRST then his assistance is coiled slightly. You can STILL wager the pact sign, just sideways."

TIMBO countered (with exemplary Internet commenter restraint) that the "bird" was, in fact, the word: "You grouping are incredibly stupid. ... If he was showing a pact sign, his assistance would hit been turned with his region side covering the camera. ... He was actuation the shuttle digit stark and ultimate ..."

Finally, Dale Pappert collection of '68 poured over the instance same it was the Zapruder film. He yet came up with this analysis: "Watched your instance 5 times. No question the kid's existence a smart ass. He started out by gift the V for Villanova sign, and quickly proven to be artful by descending a digit and turning his intercommunicate into an dirty one."

Will we ever know the answer? And, more importantly, is that a dulcify strobile in his left hand? Or a stark old waffle cone? The ridges would declare waffle, but we've also encountered the occasional carinated dulcify cone. Debate this in the comments and get backwards to us, please.
