Apparently they had to secure all their signs with cement because tourists kept on stealing them.

...like that's gonna stop me.

Customs might be a bit hard to go through, however.

It's weird that the spelling is the same too... I remember seeing Fuchs brand toothpaste in Germany, but at least that's a bit less vulgar.

It's been called Fucking since 1070 though, I can see why they wouldn't want to change it because it's a swear in a language they don't speak.

It must help their tourism though... look, BlaRo's already on his way.

What's your definition of "needle" and where is it pointing?

It's still a problem apparently. There was a local poll for changing it's name in 2004, but the residents voted against it.

That thing looks crap, and anyone who thinks the RX7 is the world's best car is badly mistaken.
