Werty discovered at WebmasterWorld that Yahoo's search engine was throwing a nice finger at you when you searched for the finger in Yahoo. It all came from their announcement on their blog, Yodel Anecdotal.

But it's not really the fact that they are showing you the finger that should be interesting. The results integrate the new Yahoo Video Search Ads. (On that note, Google Video Ads are already live.)

Here's what you'd see if you searched now:

I assume it'll be gone soon.

That was one cute and clever April Fool's Prank.
