Time Magazine's Body Part Of The Year

It was close, but the middle finger narrowly edged 'my ass' and 'these nuts' to take this prestigious award for the 4th consecutive year.

For sticking to its guns, for reshaping the rules of politics to fit its ten-gallon-hat leadership style and for persuading a majority of voters that it deserved to be in the White House for another four years, The middle finger is TIME's 2004 Body part of the Year.

It just sends such a clear message, it has a single mindedness and clear sense of purpose. Anyone gazing upon the middle finger knows that they are meant to 'fuck off' or maybe even 'go fuck themselves'. It is this clarity and lack of ambiguity that we love about the middle finger.

But the finger can't rest now. Word on the streets is that the phrase 'suck it' is gaining in popularity at an alarming rate and along with the alternate phrase 'blow me' seeks to unseat the finger's dominance in the coming years.
