Here is one of the nicest 'Fingers in camouflage' I have ever seen on video.
Offside Bundesliga: When confronted Lehmann said: “It’s nonsense. I’ve never done anything like that”. It supposedly happened after one of Lehmann’s risky trademark excursions outside of the box, during the Germany - Cyprus match on Saturday (4-0). The crowd in Hannover started Robert Enke chants. Enke happens to be Hannover’s goalkeeper and Jogi Löw’s current third choice behind Lehmann and Hildebrand.
Lehmann, whose
workout was also a bit ambiguous for some, has shown himself a true master of the camouflaged gesture. Playing into people's increased sensitivity he manages to insult those he wants to insult, while he can claim innocence in public. Bravo, a perfect grasp of the
perception of insults.
Much better than Joe Nedney, who got a $7.500 fine (which is average, see these
other fines for similar offences) for his lousy camouflage attempt:
Clearly the man is scratching his head (source)
The only examples I have of an even more subtle camouflage is when a man painted an abstract work of art,
a huge cactus, on the side of his house facing his (complaining) neighbors. They were highly offended, but he got away with it (and eventually removed it).
