Ah German English jokes. Like fart jokes, evergreen.

I just want to point out that:


> Tittelconsulting, a marketing agency

is almost as funny as Fucking Hell, and that the last paragraphs are the best. The Onion could not do better:


> It is likely to heighten Fucking's fame, which is something Meindl, the
> town's mayor, isn't happy about, given the trouble the name has caused it
> over the years. "Twelve or 13 town signs have been stolen. We've taken to
> fixing them with concrete, welding and rivets."

> eastern German town of Pissing. But so far, there are no plans to name a beer
> after them.
