One of the better internet pranks I’ve seen in a while. This could be fun to do with a corporate squid account too.

Signs of Satan
Put on your tinfoil hat before reading this.
The “El Diablo” hand sign often is con-fused with the deaf hand signal of the phrase, “I love you.” While at first this appears an odd resemblance, we register an “ahh, I get it!” emotion when we discover that the person who invented, or created, [...]
