I totally understand the Fuckers for doing this. Tourism? Nah. They'll just take a picture, buy a soda and leave. People want to live their quiet lives. Change the name and be done. >> Just across the border in Bavaria in Germany there is a village called Petting. I guess they kept going from petting to f* and the other way around for centuries.
It's also possible to start at Kissing (200km away)
A lot of people don't know this, but it takes about 30min to go from Petting to Fucking. See https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Fucking,+Austria/83367+Petti...
Why do people believe there are bad words?

What's the business angle there? It's a tiny village. Such places often have a real sense of community that you don't have elsewhere. Injecting a lot of sexual nonsense into their little town because of the name likely fe…
How about “My sister went to fucking and all I got was this fucking T-shirt” T-shirt’s.
But "She went to fucking and all I got was this fucking t-shirt" isn't really a good joke. There's no surprise element. There's no "gotcha." There's no epiphany of "Oh, I get it!"

As a Brit who swears constantly, uses a lot of slang, and enjoys drowning every sentence with relatively acerbic sarcasm I'm curious how I'd fit in polite American society.
Considering you cannot educate English speaking idiots, make a living out of them: Based on social media analysis see when there's a "high season" of idiots Buy domain fuckingaustria.com or something more clever. Get 100 tshirts with a town sign illustration, bumper stickers, mugs, wool hats and jumpers (which will be worn across all Europe by EU roaming English speakers on road tours), a roadside market permit, sell…
