what would a psychologist do?
I'm thinking a psychologist's first thought would be...
i never understood why all asian chicks do the pease sign on photo's.
even asian girls born here and youngly adopted ones here in belgium do it.
as with the whole scenekid rage, even western chicks are beginning to do it, often whilst pulling their smiles lobsided. as if they want to look like the mona lisa...

The V is probably genetical, just like the urge for sizecoding among european coders.

Supposedly polar bears are the only predators known to actually hunt humans (trivia yay). Worthy of a Darwin award, for sure.
Many animals will hunt down humans, especially when faced with hunger: various bears, tigers, lions, sharks, crocodiles, etc. Even larger snakes will eat human babies and small children.

Not for that one, it was linked on reddit without source.
But here's another one on Spiegel Online: http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-43446-12.html and it shows roughly the same.

It's not all Asian chicks, it's mostly popular in Japan. Let's see what WP has to say:
Quote:
One account of the V sign's use in portrait photographs claims that during the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, figure skater Janet Lynn stumbled into Japanese pop culture when she fell during a free-skate period—but continued to smile even as she sat on the ice. Though she placed only third in the actual competition, her cheerful diligence and indefatigability resonated with many Japanese viewers, making her an overnight celebrity in Japan. Afterwards, Lynn (a peace activist) was repeatedly seen flashing the V sign in the Japanese media. Though the V sign was known of in Japan prior to Lynn's use of it there (from the post-WWII Allied occupation of Japan), she is credited by some Japanese for having popularized its use in amateur photographs.[24] According to another theory, the V sign was popularized by the actor and singer Jun Inoue, who showed it in a Konica photo camera commercial in 1972.
