i would never notice the ring, and there is nothing to prove that it's a wedding ring or not. but most likely, the photo was just flipped, which graphic designers do all the time for composition.

This guy is an idiot. I should know better than to waste my time reading anything by Charles Mudede but sometimes I want to waste 2 minutes wondering about what insanse bullshit he's burping up, and today was a winner. It's an ad. Like @1 states it's probably flipped. Not everyone or every culture wears the ring on the left hand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_finger…. Ugh. Please stop.

Um, Charles . . . you wear a wedding ring on your left hand.

no, charles it totally right on this one. it's a picture of a wedding ring.

it's on the wrong hand because the image was flipped horizontally by the graphic designer, who wanted the text on the right.

Or nurturing the next great musical artists.

It's just something that cannot be understood by those that refuse to acknowledge life in the womb.

#1 is almost certainly the correct answer--the photo was flipped to make the ad.

She could also be Jewish...a lot of different cultures place the wedding ring on the right hand...

I know many people who are left-handed who wear their rings on the right hand.

You guys who said the photo was flipped are right. Sorry, I'm distracted today.

additional flipping evidence: the buttons show male left-over-right overlapping of the buttonhole side over the buttons side.

@8 WTF? Been jew my whole life and never heard of that. I also haven't heard that being married means you have to leave your right ring finger naked.

Unless her face is on the back of her head, that is her right hand. I had a nurse who told me it's an eastern European thing, wearing it on her right hand. But it could have been a composition thing, they wanted the ring to show and wanted the right hand on top.

@ 6 - First, shut up.

Second, you're right - none of us godless sloggers could look at that vastly pregnant belly and see any life in there at all, nope, not us. Justa buncha cells, about 8 1/2 months along. Yep, you got our number alright.

Third, shut up.

If you are married in the Russian Orthodox church you wear the ring on your right hand.

ditto on @12. Jews don't wear wedding rings on their right hand. At least not in this country. Anyway, if she were single she'd have dyed spiky hair and tattoos. everyone knows that.

Image-flipping aside, some people wear their wedding rings on their right hands just because they like it that way. It doesn't mean they're not really married or (necessarily) of some "unusual" ethnicity or religion.

I hope my future husband realizes that no matter which finger that rings gets put on I'm losing it every 7.5 days. He'll have to keep a pile of them in his sock drawer ala Marge's 'family heirloom' necklace on the Simpsons.

duh, wedding ring on right hand is normal in eastern Europe and Russia. Noticed a fair bit of it in Georgia also.
