I remember getting a response that it would be inappropriate to have "foul" language (or a photo thereof) visible like that on the front page, even though it certainly wasn't foul language at all....it's simply the name of the town.
No it isn't and you know that.
Of course it is, because it was clearly given context. If it was just a photo of that sign and nothing more, then one could rightly say it is what one would likely think.
But when given context: "that the Austrian town of Fucking installed theft-resistant road signs in 2005 because the signs were frequently stolen by tourists?" it is indeed just a sign for the town, and nothing more than that.
Like the Fucking police chief said on the issue of theft of the signs: "[w]hat they are, I am not at liberty to disclose, but we will not stand for the Fucking signs being removed. It may be very amusing for you British, but Fucking is simply Fucking to us. What is this big Fucking joke? It is puerile."
That others read more into than this shows that the issue clearly lays with them....just like the non-issue on Commons.
Cheers,
