Fed up Austrian villagers to vote to change it's F**king name after constant ridicule

THE Austrian village of Fucking is to vote on a name change in an attempt to escape the constant ridicule and attention the name attracts.
The 104 residents of the village will cast their votes later this week on whether to alter the name.
“People are now willing to discuss changes to the spelling of the name,” Franz Meindl, the village’s mayor, said in a television interview. “But first all Fuckingers have to agree on whether want to change it or not.” For centuries the tiny village in northern Austria lived life in happy obscurity, but life changed when US troops, stationed in the area at the end of the Second World War, discovered it, and since then the village’s name has been a constant source of amusement for tourists and irritation for locals

Australians and New Zealanders all agree they should change the name to Rüting, while the rest of the Anglosphere prefers they switch to Scrüing.

We are a bit more conservative here in the U.S.

I went to college with a good looking girl named Sally Fuchs (German, Fox), and apparently she did although I had no first hand experience. She got married in her Junior year, but I doubt it lasted (he was a jerk, she was a bitch). But she did manage to escape the Fuchs and all the jokes.

While it is true that almost nobody lives in Fucking, we all (well, except for the cases of in vitro fertilization) come from it.

I kind of wish I lived there. Just for the name, I mean.
