Description North Korean Propaganda Photograph of prisoners of USS Pueblo. Photo and explanation from the Time Magazine article that blew the Hawaiian Good Luck Sign secret.

The North Koreans for months photographed them without knowing the real meaning of flipping the middle finger, while the soldiers explained that the sign meant good luck in Hawaii.
