Sunday morning and what else to search for on the web? The Jesus Christ middle finger gave me an itch and decided to scratch for more image queries for middle fingers and share the results. Google Images 1 - 20 of about 1,530,000 — yowsa, if you can believe their ‘estimation’ they have the most middle fingers of any place on the web:

Flickr middle finger as slideshow (Flickr shows 10,140 results). This would be one to put on one of those picture frames above your TV — or on your TV — to freak out guests. Flickr competitor Zooomr only has 7 middle finger pictures.

At least 3,335 are showing their middle fingers on Photobucket:

The middle finger photoshopped out of flames seems to be one of the more popular pictures. Popular at Imageshack too which has 4 versions of it in the top 10 results out of 267 total pictures.

I would show you the results for Smugmug but as of this writing they are having Amazon S3 image hosting problems:

Historically, Amazon has been very stable.  We’ve seen three of these in our entire history with Amazon (>2 years), including this one.  I expect, like the last two, that service will be restored shortly.

Don doesn’t seem to think this is a middle finger image moment. Those paying for Smugmug might think so. Moving on, webshots has 19,627 middle finger images and hey, not a one of them is that flaming finger.

I checked AOL pictures but didn’t turn up any middle finger photos. Am I doing something wrong there? Oh, and yes, there is at least one middle finger picture here. This makes 21 posts out of 4,777 where the words middle finger have been used over the last 5+ years this blog has been in existence.

Did I miss a good place for more middle finger images?

  1. Not to get all Freudian, but the obvious sexual connotations of the gesture might have something to do with its perennial popularity.

    Freud never went out of style with our “hidden persuaders” in advertising, anyway.;-)

  3. While I can understand the Freudian connotations, I think it just comes down to a good old-fashioned “FU”. Easy, fast, and to the point. Literally and figuratively. Heh.

  4. I love the first photo bucket photo, the finger of fire. It sounds like something out of more than just biblical proportions, something on which one could base an adventure novel with spiritual and apocalyptic undertones.
