Fucking, Austria: A Real City

So I stumbled upon an interesting little tidbit over at snopes.com; there is a town in Austria called “Fucking.”

Evidently, their town signs are being ripped off left and right. It follows, I suppose, that people would want these signs. After all, having a huge sign in your house that says “Fucking” is probably a guy’s single greatest ticket to fame. But the one featured here is perhaps the most amusing, as the phrase below it (in German) reads “Please – not so fast!”

Given my heavy heart over this afternoon’s Chargers’ loss, I’m feeling particularly justified in stumbling around the net…and sharing my findings with you.

For those of you who are firing up your email client to send me hate mail for putting this word front and center on Turnipville, remember: I didn’t name the city. I’m just a bloggist.
