Don't you hate it when you're minding your own business, looking through your really big multibillion dollar telescope, and you come across this?
That's a real Hubble image, of a portion of the Carina (Keyhole) Nebula star forming region. The "middle finger" is a stellar wind, probably driven by a very large O star behind the "palm."
The image is more than 10 years old, but rude gestures from the Cosmos never get old.
The complete image can be found in the Hubble Heritage archive at http://heritage.stsci.edu/2000/06/big.html
