Still not appropriate to do a “made you look “game in a photo with a child if that’s all he understood the gesture to be? Particularly given that he was in a giant costume of a cartoon character? And given the character as well? You assume he had any knowledge of any of this nonsense we are discussing right now.?

I was at my daughter’s lacrosse game this AM and I flashed her the ok sign after she scored.

Then, I thought: there are like 8 AA kids out here. All it will take is one whack a do parent and I’ll be banned from these games.... even though I coached a predominantly AA high school lax team for 10 years.

Bizarro world

Disney is demonic and that is meant as 666 even though most know it as ok sign.

You didn’t see it now or you didn’t notice it before?

So the actor playing Gru at Universal resort was secretly a Disney spy, signaling his Disney overlords with their Satanic hand gesture? Sure. Why not? Makes as much sense as the white supremacy thing.

I do not know what the “made you look “game is. I’m 61 years old. I’ve never heard of it. I know it’s the OK sign. I also know it’s been used to call someone an A S S hole. But made you look? What is that?

“OK” is as American as mom and apple pie, and so is using that sign. This is stupid.

Heavens to Murgatroyd. Pres. Trump uses that sign all the time. Just add that to his list of High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Thank you. I think it clear that moron at Universal was not using it as the OK sign. For whatever reasons he did that, he got fired for that.

I would file this under “play stupid games, win stupid prizes “.

OK turned on side is WP in gang sign. WP means white power and white power is racist. Black power is still not racist and still OK though.

“The OK sigh was used in Viet Nam by prostitutes.”

Before or after?

yes I am familiar...could be, but who really knows his intent. All I was saying is he took a chance with a prank while probably knowing (if he is younger) some people feel it is racist. He gambled and unfortunately lost.

I personally feel the whole ok symbol thing is ridiculous...

Omigod, for those who don’t know, the “OK sign = racism” was a 4chan _troll_ created to ridicule political correctness.

The 4chan prank worked... all to well. The f’n leftards bought into the absurdity.
