What Central European town is holding a vote to change its name?

Answer: F**king, Austria

As reported by The Sun, this isn't the first time the 100 or so villagers have taken this to a vote -- in 1996, residents voted to keep the name despite problems caused by American servicemen from across the German border who drove to the area just to be photographed in front of signs. 

This time, though, prank calls -- where people from abroad phoned locals and asked, “Is that F***ing— ” before bursting into laughter and hanging up -- are what did the trick. 

The only way the name will change is if every resident votes in favor. The vote will be held this week.
