When did the middle finger become offensive? was created by CinnamonGirl
An American television network has apologised after pop star M.I.A. extended her middle finger during Sunday night's Super Bowl halftime show. What does the gesture mean, and when did it become offensive?

Well, it looks like classic rock will be back for next year's half time show. WTH was she thinking. They should have had a clause in their contract or something that covered this you would think.

I thought it was a way for another motorist to complement you on your driving.

watched the segment a couple of times last night --- no idea what all the fuss is about (I noticed she cussed, though). Typical pop music junk. Nothing worth discussing or fussing about.

On the middle finger ---- people have been deported from Dubai for showing their middle finger.

She did have a clause in her contract, but because of this 100 million people know her name now so it's a huge win for her. Mandonna is probably the most pissed off about it since it stole the spotlight from her.

That's a really bad habit for a politician to develop.


Being honest about how he feels towards the general popualtion could go badly for him.
