THE MARKUP
British Hostages, Cont. [Greg Pollowitz]
The pictures of the 15 British hostages today reminded me of the media coverage of the USS Pueblo, which was captured by the North Koreans in 1968. There is the now infamous incident where the U.S. hostages flashed the "Hawaiian good luck charm" (an extended middle finger) to let the people at home know they were resisting the NK abuses.
Unfortunately for the sailors, Time Magazine spilled the beans on the true meaning of Hawaiian good luck and the sailors endured a week of intense beatings. For the 15 British marines in Iranian captivity, we know you want to wish the Iranians the best of luck, so, stay safe... the MSM can't be trusted with any inside signs that show your true feelings.
