Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
Yes, there really is a place in Austria called Fucking. In fact they liked the name so much, it seems that they also have several Fucking roads. Which f**king road would you live on?
Update: Welcome Boingboingers! We’ve had lots more funny placenames in the comments here, and yet more at Boing Boing, and now somebody’s located this excellent list of interesting or unusual place names on Wikipedia (and yes, there’s rude ones in there too!)
Thanks to Chris and Nev.

My fucking conversation:
Austrians: Why do you british think our town so funny.
British: your fucking town name is fucking!!
Austrians: What the fuck is wrong with fucking
British: (laughing) There is nothing wrong with fucking!
Austrians: Then why do you find it so fucking funny!!?
How about Blue Balls, Ohio or Intercourse, PA?
Botswana (Southern Africa) currency is called Pula (1 US$ = 4.5 Pula). There is also the city of Pula on the Adriatic Coast (Croatia). The thing is, Pula in Romanian means penis.

Austrian reporter: British tourists like our town alot. lets see why.
Austrian reporter: You tourists like “Fucking” alot don’t you?
British tourists: (half laughing) The best thing about it is the “Fucking” souvenirs.
Austrian reporter: But why do you find “Fucking” so fucking funny.
Then the British tourists give the reporter an explanation about fucking

I was born in Oberoesterreich, Austria which is where Fucking seems to be located much to my surprise, however, I am having a difficult time locating an actual map of cities on which I can see how close it actually is to where I was born and how I could have missed it on my last trip.
I think this is funny…..but how about Climax, Saskatchewan in Canada. It’s about an hour away from Love, Saskatchewan.
Here in the Philippines, we have a town in the main island of Luzon called Sexmoan.
Do they have a Fucking hotel? I do understand that Fucking can be quite nice, especially in the summer.
How about “DRY PRONG” Louisiana

I love to drive in that Fucking Road….drive so fast that the local Fucking police will chase me…lol
Well, here in Switzerland we have a city called “Gland” which means penis knob (it means acorn as well), so everyone who speaks French want to come there just to make fun of the name. And next to Gland, we have a village which name is Apples (not funny for the ones who don’t speak English).
In Geneva there’s a main street called “Chantepoulet” which means “sing chicken!”
And don’t forget the famous French city of Brest
