Austrian village is f**king tired of you mocking its name

From MSN.com

The village of f**king, Austria, has 104 residents, many of whom are really f**king tired of tourists stealing road signs with the village's name and being mocked for bearing the name of a 6th-century Bavarian nobleman named Focko (the village's name is derived from an 18th-century spelling). Mostly, the f**king residents just want to be f**king left alone. Which is why the village is now mulling a name change. f**kingers will vote this week whether to alter the hamlet's name, with some in favor of reverting to the 16th century spelling, replacing "ck" with a single or double "g." Others want to keep the name, either out of tradition or to keep the tourist money flowing.​

I hear they're going to rename the main street that goes through town. No f**king Way!

Those quaint f**king people of that quaint f**king town ought to merchandize and take full advantage of their f**king situation.

They could have a slogan: "For an unforgettable vacation, try f**king. You'll want to come again and again."

People from all over would flock to the annual f**king festival. Granted, many would be disappointed.

With only 104 residents, I doubt much f**king is going on there.


Could you well imagine the profit potential if they could trademark certain business names.

They could demand royalties every time someone uses an expression like "I'm going to the f**king Market".

At least by standing together and protecting their interests, these residents are of a collective mind...not out of their f**king mind.

They should at least sell souvenirs. "I finally made it to f**king, and all I got was this f**king t-shirt!"

Austrian village f**king set for name change

*Due to the church lady's censoring, you will have to correct the url yourself for it to work as the filter is even censoring the url. Luckily, even if you are poor speller, I'm certain that's one word you know how to spell.


QuoteFranz Meindl, the mayor of the Tarsdorf municipality, said they had tried everything to keep the signs from going AWOL, "including concrete blocks and special screws."

Well I guess in a town with a name like that...they got to have some special screws.

Just imagine the really cool titles people could have. Who wouldn't want to be introduced as the Lord mayor of f**king?

Then again, you might also have everybody complaining about the f**king mayor.

I would love to visit just to attend a service at the First Lutheran Church of f**king.

You know, there's this common stereotype that Germans have no sense of humor.

I wouldn't mind a road sign saying "Welcome to F***, enjoy your stay."  Or "Now leaving F***, come back soon!"
