Looks like the Newsay reporter needs to learn Norwegian. The norwegian
article talked about the pictures that were being discussed "all over the
US" and it said "It could however be that she's trying to do the sign of
university of Texas Longhorns, They are very much alike"
So to sum it up... Hardly anyone over here paid attention to it, Don't think
it was on any TV news, and it was only a small article about it on the
internet website of the biggest commercial TV station..........

Norwegians Confused by Bush Salute

By Associated Press

January 21, 2005, 12:51 PM EST

OSLO, Norway -- President Bush's "Hook 'em, 'horns" salute got lost in
translation in Norway, where shocked people interpreted his hand
gesture during his inauguration as a salute to Satan.

That's what it means in the Nordics when you throw up the right hand
with the index and pinky fingers raised, a gesture popular among heavy
metal groups and their fans in the region.

"Shock greeting from Bush daughter," a headline in the Norwegian
Internet newspaper Nettavisen said above a photograph of Bush's
daughter Jenna, smiling and showing the sign.


Don't you believe it, Norway! It's more proof of the Satanic influence
of the "War on Terra"!
