Some recent reading on misunderstandings caused by regional and culture diversities caused me to wonder about the "You're OK with Me" trophy graphic. I thought it ironic if the "You're OK" gesture actually suggested "You're NOT OK" in some places. Does this mean something else where you are from?

i recall being told somewhere not to do this gesture... maybe i was in japan at the time? anyways, it supposedly meant "you're an a**hole".

It looks a lot like the 'you're an asshole' gesture used in south america.

Personally i'm in favour of diversifying the tropies a little, I suggest a trophy to give 'em the finger.
