Austrian village is f**king tired of you mocking its name
The village of Fucking, 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 Fucking residents just want to be f**king left alone. Which is why the village is now mulling a name change. Fuckingers 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.

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant,
it is just that they know so much that isn't so.

Tourist need to leave the F**cking signs alone.
SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.
-General Omar Bradley, United States Army

When asked I'd just like to say I live in F**king Austria dude! Then I'd advertise that since it's named that, it has to be that as well. May as well get the enjoyment all the way around.

this is pretty funny. either change the name or post the signs high enough where they are out of reach. Maybe even electrify them. That should be fun...

I believe they are twinned with the village of "Cocks" in Cornwall.
the sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.
