I was walking home yesterday and happened upon a hoard of young Asian girls posing for vacation pictures; they all flashed the peace sign instead of posing or smiling like a normal person. Then as I continued to walk past other touristy spots along my journey, I saw more Asians posing for pictures and flashing the peace sign. Perhaps it’s a victory sign instead of a peace sign but either way, WTF?? Have all those years of Hello Kitty warped their minds? Any insight into this would be mucho appreciated.
