Charlie says, “This middle finger thing is ridiculous. I can’t raise one of my fingers without offending the world? Seriously? Isn’t life hard enough already?”
He makes a good point. You can’t even raise your middle finger on network television without your hand being blurred by the censors.
It’s really quite stupid. A relic of ancient times that has somehow continued to persist for centuries.
We should all agree that henceforth, the extension of the middle finger – absent the extension of any other digit – is a meaningless, benign gesture.
Charlie is correct. The idea that we have attached meaning to a simple gesture like this is ridiculous.
And he’s also right:
Life is hard enough without taking offense to a finger.
