Bush and the Satanic Salute




Many Norwegian television viewers were shocked to see President George Bush and his family apparently saluting Satan during his inauguration yesterday. And deaf American viewers were equally as surprised because to them it was a sign language obscenity.
But in reality, it was just a sign of respect for the University of Texas Longhorns sports teams, whose fans are known to shout out “Hook’em horns!” at games.The president and family were photographed lifting their right hands with their index and little fingers raised up, much like a horn.
But in much of the world those “horns” are a sign of the devil.
In Scandinavia, the hand gesture is popular among death metal and black metal groups and fans.
The sign also means bulls*** in American Sign Language.
