    Unfortunately, it’d be Nice Fugging Meme Bro now, as Fucking has changed its name after too many tourists showed up and stole their signs.

        That likely wouldn’t have helped, because sadly some people still think it’s funny to steal the actual town signs. I guess even if they’d sell identical 1:1 signs for a fair price, some people would still steal the installed ones.

            Given the fact that a fair price for a real town sign is about 175€ somebody will probably just rob the vending machine, either to get the money or a sign. Maybe a card only vending machine would work but changing the name to “Fugging” was probably simpler.

        Someone did set up a tourist shop selling T-shirts reading “I like Fucking in Austria”, though the locals found it a bit undignified. (Austria can be a somewhat conservative place, especially in rural areas.)

    Self-censorship is the bane of the internet. You have the freedom to say fuck, use it.

      And it’s right FUCKING there in the image anyway… I’m certain people do this consciously to get more “interaction”, at least a few certain comments about it.

    How old is this meme? I’m wondering if someone already drove this. If not, someone soon will. Should I fire up my 2002 Skoda and do it?

    Fun fact: The name Fucking can be traced to an 11th century noble named “Adalpert von Vucckingen”.
    The noble who founded the village in the 6th century was called “Focko”.
