2. Fucking, Austria
The idiots who live in Fucking, Austria had a vote in 2004 to determine whether or not they should change the town?s name, and you know what they did? They voted against it, preferring instead to put up with international ridicule, numerous stolen road-signs and horrific Google results.

I happened upon that article this morning, to my delight. I love that the Times included a little infographic with the names on a map. All the News That's Fit to Print, plus Butt Hole Road.

New Zealand has the world's longest place name, Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu.

in PA, you need to go through intercourse to get to paradise.

we also have blue ball and bird in hand(?)

Funny thing is Intercourse PA is an Amish kinda town.

Funny because...? What, Amish people don't have intercourse? Pretty sure I've seen Amish children.

I thought they grew them in a patch. I actually bought a hat with that we have intercourse slogan from an Amish farmer at his store. Nice people.

Reminds me of the t-shirts the all female Moore College of Art students in Philly used to wear: Moore Girls in huge white block letters in an all black background.
