It has become the finger seen round the world.
Topless club owner Alan Markovitz has gotten a lot of media attention in the past several days after he placed a giant sculpture of a hand giving the middle finger in his backyard of his Orchard Lake home. The prank is aimed at his next door neighbor who now lives with Markovitz's ex-wife. Markovitz says the neighbor carried on an affair with his wife while he was still married to her. Markovitz just moved in to the house.
On Monday night, "Late Night" host Jimmy Fallon weighed in.
"Oh man, I love this story," Fallon said in his monolog. " We were laughing about this backstage."
"This is a true story. You guys hear about his guy in Michigan?He bought a house next to his ex-wife. This guy’s my favorite.He bought a house next to his ex-wife then he installed a giant outdoor sculpture of a hand giving the middle finger.
"That is unbelievable."
"So their kids said, 'So, separate Thanksgivings?"
