Re: The Maria Sharapova Picture Thread 2012
So, I guess I'm right in saying that in America, the 'V sign' isn't offensive? Because it is in Britain... I feel like I'm being insulted every time I see these pictures.

I was going to comment exactly the same thing, but seeing as noone else took offence I didn't see the problem 
ofc I didn't find it offensive, but yeh guys in Britain to use the 'V' sign means 'fuck off' hehe

Re: The Maria Sharapova Picture Thread 2012
Anyone remembers pre-2006, when she didn't even have an official website? Such a strong contrast between then and now, when she updates her facebook daily

In America, during the hippie era, after the invasion of the Beatles and rolling stones, two fingers were used as the peace sign, related to the war in Vietnam.
Americans find one finger..the middle one..sufficient to communicate fuck off.

Over here, V sign with palm facing outward is 'peace', and a V sign with the palm facing inward is 'fuck off'.

Nowadays, I'm more aware of what Maria is doing everyday than my own activities.

In the States, V sign with palm facing outward = peace, V with the palm inward= vagina.
There's more like horizontal V, etc.

Re: The Maria Sharapova Picture Thread 2012
It must mean something else to these guys - here is Laura Robson doing it.
Is it something to do with that Gangnam thing?

Or may be they are tweeting 'rock, paper, scissors' to decide who wins their next match.
After all, it's a lot easier than slogging through 5 sets! |
