"They finally grew weary of Fucking, its current name, which some experts say dates back to the 11th century."

"Some have reportedly even stolen the signposts, leading the local authorities to use theft-resistant concrete when putting up replacements."

It's sad and a disgrace that a town has to rename itself after a thousand years, because people whose intellectual capacity is questionable won't stop with the abuse.

EDIT: I'm sure David Mitchell was right when he said that the world is calibrated for "idiots".

This signpost stealing seems to be a common thing. I know of a town in France called Condom which also suffered this fate a lot.

Also pornhub gave every resident of Fucking a free lifetime premium account. Wonder if they'll revoke it now.
