Daily Mail – by STUART WOLEDGE
The National Lottery’s ‘It Could Be You’ advertising campaign was one of the most recognizable of its time, where a cloud formed the shape of a hand and pointed to an unsuspecting winner.
The cloud’s over Fort William in Scotland came up with their own take on the idea, when they formed the shape of a hand and made the sort of gesture that suggested its photographer, Jamie O’Connell, probably need not bother buying a ticket this week.
Mr O’Connell was walking his dog along the Caledonian Canal near Neptune’s Staircase when the cloud well and truly gave him the finger.
The 23-year-old had to look twice to make sure he wasn’t imagining the rude hand gesture.
Mr O’Connell, an offshore steward, said: ‘I was just walking the dog when I looked up and saw this cloud.
‘I was absolutely gobsmacked. I had to double look at it, and I nearly wet myself.
‘A lot of people have said it might be a sign – I must have annoyed someone!’
The cloud, which broke through a rainy sky, has become a viral sensation since being Mr O’Connell posted it online.
It’s you: Daniel O’Connell was amazed when he spotted this offensive cloud formation in the skies above Fort William
He said: ‘It’s so lifelike, it’s hard to believe it’s actually a cloud. It really looks like someone swearing, the detail is unbelievable.
‘I think I’ve seen clouds that look a bit like dinosaurs in the past, but no-one has ever flipped off at me through the sky.’
He is now keeping a close eye on the clouds in the hope he will be able to spot other lifelike figures.
He added: ‘I’ve always wanted to see Mufassa from The Lion King. He’s been my favourite film character since I was younger. It’s the best film of all time.’

Had this been in Edinburgh instead, I’d like to believe it was directed at the Freemasons. Edinburgh has long been a bastion of Freemasonry.
(been there. Beautiful city, awesome castle).
Good one, Angel. 🙂
