Fucking Amazing

I thought this was a joke when I read this in the paper the other day! No it isn't!! I found a picture as well. Here's the news first

The mayor of a small Austrian town has called on British tourists to stop stealing its road signs. Siegfried Hauppl, mayor of Fucking, says visitors come from nearby Salzburg to pose for pictures and, sometimes, to take signs home as souvenirs. “We had a vote last year on whether to rename the town, but decided to keep it as it is,” says Siegfried. “After all, Fucking has existed for 800 years. We don’t give it a second thought.” But some villagers are reluctant to say where they are from, an embarrassment shared by two other Austrian villages: Windpassing and Wank on the Lake.



The most frequently stolen traffic sign in Austria, at the entrance to the village of Fucking. The lower sign ("Please, not so fast!") is addressed to speeding drivers.
