Here is the story:

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=857&ncid=757&e=10&u=/nm/20030606/od_uk_nm/oukoe_odd_prescott

So what exactly does the V-sign mean? Is it basically an F-you?

There's also an apocryphal story about pluck yew.

Also try a search on two-finger salute.

There seems to be a good summary of all this nonsense over here.

OMG that's hilarious.

In much of the world today, the thumbs up means, "O.K.", "Right On!", or "I like this movie, Gene... uh... Gene?"
LOL

That sounds like something off of something awful.

Unfortunately here in the US more and more people recognize the two-finger salute and respond with the one finger.
In those cases I just wave back with all fingers
