Actually, I'd guess a hand is probably the worst choice, as there are  
probably more offensive hand gestures than are possible with any other  
part of the body :)  Even an open palm, like the GPE logo, is  
potentially offensive in some places.  (Greece? I think it was  
something originally used by the Byzantines, anyway...)

Cheeri,
Calum.
