We paean the Great Leader

Remember when the North Koreans captured the crew of the USS Pueblo in 1968. Here is a photo of some of the crew giving the middle finger to the North Koreans (telling the North Koreans that it was a "Hawaiian salute."
When the North Koreans figured out the true meaning, they treated the crew harshly, and tortured the crew leader until he confessed his transgression. Maetenloch writes about it at Ace of Spades, quoting an article by Scott Johnson at Power Line:

For the next 11 months, Pueblo Commander Bucher and his crew were held as POWs by the North Koreans. Initially, they were treated relatively well, with good food and living accommodations. However, their treatment turned harsher when the North Koreans realized that crewmen were secretly giving them the finger, which they explained as being a "Hawaiian good luck sign," in staged propaganda photos they had been taking of the crew. From then on they were regularly beaten by the North Koreans.

Bucher was psychologically tortured such as being put through a mock firing squad in an effort to make him confess. Eventually the Koreans threatened to execute his men in front of him, and Bucher relented and agreed to "confess to his and the crew's transgression." Bucher wrote the confession and the North Koreans verified the meaning of what he wrote, but failed to catch the pun when he said "We paean the North Korean state. We paean their great leader Kim Il Sung."
