In Journalism, it is frowned upon to use swear words in an article...Unless it's part of a quote, or in this case, as Ananova reports, the name of a town. That's right. In Austria, there's a town named "F*cking," replacing the * with a vowel... Apparantely, there are people attempting to steal the signs around town that say the name of this town, mainly British tourists who are stealing the F*cking signs. "Everyone here knows what it means in English, but for us F*cking is F*cking - and it's going to stay F*cking - even though the signs keep getting stolen." Said Spokesman Siegfried Hoeppl regarding the theft of the F*cking signs. According to snopes, much of the town's small budget is spent replacing those F*cking signs.
Oddly enough, there is no reference to anyone changing the F*cking name besides the theft of signs. Then again, last I checked, Austria doesn't have the FCC. Imagine the fun and games when the AFA and TVC find out about this. Pretty soon, StrikingScorpion's AFA briefs will be informing us of a new branch in Austria, if you get my drift. Plus, with all the revenue the F*cking village must bring to Austria, I doubt that they'd change the F*cking name.
One thing is for sure. This F*cking village has officially been added on my to-go list. I bet those F*ckers are really nice people, and the F*cking accomodations must be great, given that F*cking is such a national pastime! One thing's for sure, I bet that the F*cking villiage of Austria will attain real world fame soon, and its fellow villages undergoing a name change poll: Wank am see, Petting, Vomitville and Windpassing are sure to be just as famous as their F*cking counterpart!
