The photo seems more like they are trying to concentrate on blowing up my mind, a la Charles Xavier, though that may be more to do with the resolution of it.
I tend not to be too involved with the underlying aspects of what some do to entertain themselves. Sure, they offended an entire nation of people off-handedly, but worse things could happen other than making yourselves out to be international douchenozzles by not thinking why this discriminatory gesture might've ticked some off.
Bad move, obviously, to insult the hand that "hosts", but at least they might learn to teach their athletes and population in general to be more aware of other cultures, and to act with dignity in order to be viewed as respectable competitors, instead of world-class jerks.
