Middle finger of the year (and the usual monthly roundup)

By Mona Goldwater, Gestures and Signs Ed.

Here is our usual roundup of reader-submitted middle fingers, both celebrities and just regular folk like us. This first one, however, has to be our finger of the year (I can't remember if it was sent in by reader Jeff C or Dean E).

But, then, a close runner-up has to be the middle finger given by former representative Anthony Weiner following his concession speech in the NYC Mayoral election primary. His parting shot to the press was to flip them off as he was driven away into much-deserved obscurity.
