So you guys assume that people in Norway would know the sign of the Texas University Longhorns?

No, but if your press wasn't so lazy, they could have taken five minutes out of their busy schedules of assuming things and passing it on to their readers. A small amount of research would have revealed the truth about what the gesture meant within the context in which it was made.

But NO, Euro papers get headlines along the lines of "BUSH MAKES DEVIL SIGN AT INAUGURATION".

But yes, the presidents adviser in charge of obscure European hand signals dropped the ball here. The sooner the president learns to cater to the fine folks in Norway, the better.

Haha! It's one little newspaper in Norway and you guys are chit-chatting (?) about it for hours. Generalisation is a wonderful thing!

Damn! You've got presedential advisors for obscure European hand signals? Now I understand the demand for smaller government in the USA!
