    Unfortunately, it’d be Nice Fugging Meme Bro now, as Fucking has changed its name after too many tourists showed up and stole their signs.

        That likely wouldn’t have helped, because sadly some people still think it’s funny to steal the actual town signs. I guess even if they’d sell identical 1:1 signs for a fair price, some people would still steal the installed ones.

            Given the fact that a fair price for a real town sign is about 175€ somebody will probably just rob the vending machine, either to get the money or a sign. Maybe a card only vending machine would work but changing the name to “Fugging” was probably simpler.

        Someone did set up a tourist shop selling T-shirts reading “I like Fucking in Austria”, though the locals found it a bit undignified. (Austria can be a somewhat conservative place, especially in rural areas.)
