I find that rediculious. Why can't people be mature adults over a commercial?

I guess people have nothing better to do with their time.

There's a town in Austria called "f*****g."

I'm totally serious. And this one is not changing its name. Check it out:

There's a village in Yorkshire called Penistone. Careful how you hyphenate it...!

I can't see any similarity?

Yes. I think everyone knows that. People steal their signs all the time. Of course they won't change it...they like the publicity.

There's the Bong Recreational Center in WI, and of course there's the infamous town of Mianus. People are so immature. Myself included, but the Viagra one just isn't that amusing. Why would anyone care enough to change the name of the street?

Now, this is unrelated to the original reason for this thread, but I thought you might get a kick out of this one. Imagine your town was called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll-llantysiliogogogoch? This is an ACTUAL TOWN NAME in Scotland!! !! Translated into English, it means, "St. Mary's Church, in a dell of White Hazel Trees, near the Rapid Whirlpool, by the Red Cave of the Church of St. Tysilio"!

Boy, I'm glad my town is called "Lincoln"! !
