The inhabitants of the village of Fjuckby, Sweden have apparently had enough of people laughing at them. They want the name of their town changed and have appealed to the Swedish government to be allowed to change the name to Fjukeby.
Tired of the mirth caused by the name of their tiny hamlet, a number of Fjuckby residents have handed in an application to Swedish authorities for a small change that could make a big difference by becoming Fjukeby.
"The word 'Fjuckby' today appears to spontaneously and repeatedly lead to associations concerning certain carnal activities between people and between animals," the residents wrote in their plea to the Surveyors Office.
"This regrettable fact breeds feelings of weariness, embarrassment and conditioned shame among the residents…"
According to a number of online translation programs, Fjuckby means nothing whatsoever in Swedish. So we here at Blue Crab Boulevard are not really sure what all the ruckus is about. But the word 'Fjukeby' means "The artist formerly known as Fjuckby". So really, they're right back where they started.
Could be worse; the name of the town could be Fjuckyu…
