| Description | An Austrian village with the unfortunate name of ****ing has had enough of the mockery and will change its name to Fugging, local leaders said Thursday.
The tiny village north of Salzburg, with a population of just over 100, has become something of an attraction because of its name, with road signs regularly stolen. According to Kurier, annoyed locals tried to stop this from happening by encasing the bottom of the signs in concrete.
It’s been a long-running problem. According to a Daily Mirror article from back in 2012, locals often “disturbed naked couples romping in front of the signs, and local entrepreneurs made the situation worse by flogging off ****ing postcards — ****ing Christmas cards and even more recently a ****ing beer.” |
