Before, I Go Any Further, This Crazy-Uncle-Steve Look-at-History, was inspired, by Faceless Books : >Facebook Allows Beheading Videos< Social network had banned decapitation clips but says they are being accepted again if intended to condemn violence Why Facebook has got it spectacularly wrong on beheading videos !! : theguardian/technology/2013/oct/22/facebook-allows-beheading-videos?CMP=fb_gu. First, I personally agree with The Guardian: Facebook has got it spectacularly wrong on beheading videos !!! Facebook is making an editorial judgment in allowing head- chopping yet banning breastfeeding. And it is a very bad one: theguardian/commentisfree/2013/oct/22/facebook-beheading-videos-editorial-judgment-breastfeeding . But, as you will soon see Face Book may have actually Put-Its-Collective-Thumb Up Its Own Tush. In modern popular culture, it is assumed that thumbs down was the signal that a defeated gladiator should be condemned to death; thumbs up, that he should be spared. The latter view was popularized by a widely reproduced painting by the 19th-century artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, whose Pollice Verso (usually known in English as Thumbs Down) depicts a triumphant gladiator looking up into the stands for the verdict of the crowd. Excerpt, from Thumbs signal, From Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumbs_signal Then again some Historians believe the Opposite is the correct Interpretation, of the thumbs up / thumbs down, i.e., The thumbs down signal meant NO, to the defeated gladiator being condemned to death; Thus YES, he should be spared. Therefore: The thumbs up signal meant NO, to the defeated gladiator being spared ; Thus YES, he should be condemned to death . So, in conclusion Faceless Book may have actually Put-Its-Collective-Thumb Up Its Own Tush, by inadvertently Signally that It Approves , of the Beheading instead, of Condemning the Beheading, by Giving The thumbs up, to Showing the Videos.
