A German brewery has won its battle to market a beer called "Fucking Hell". The European Union's OHIM trade marks agency initially rejected the name because of its sexual connotation.

That decision has now been overruled in the OHIM's appeals procedure. The brewery defended its choice of name pointing out that 'hell' in German means 'pale' and refers to light-coloured ale. It also argued that the beer is produced in Fucking, a village in Austria.

It is a popular destination with British tourists, who enjoy being photographed in front of the traffic sign on which the village's name is printed. A few years ago, residents voted to keep the name, despite the problems caused by the tourists.

A few years ago a referendum was held to decide whether or not to change the village's name because of all of the attention, but in the end it was decided that the name should stay unchanged.

Well, that was the highpoint of my day.

One of my favorite colors ever that the E36 M3 comes in is called Hellrot Red. (I think it just means bright red maybe?)

I wish they had won World War 2. :(

I'm consciously trying to curse less in my day-to-day conversations.

why

I always remember ppl saying things like "oh when ppl curse it's just lazy or sloppy language skills" and plus sometimes ppl will shut off what you're really saying and only focus on the cusses. Plus it makes me aware at how often I do curse. It just rolls off the tongue so naturally. Plus I want to be in total control of every aspect of my mind+body (soul integration).

sounds pussy

I don't think we'll ever have flying cars... there would be a 9/11 every day if we did.

I like the way you think.

It's like we already have flying cars but they're just called airplanes.

I have to censor myself at work. Yay customer-service oriented job. It's a good thing, but it was really freaking difficult at first.

My proudest moment is when I slammed my hand in a cabinet and it hurt like a motherfucker. I yelled, of course, "MOTHER......... crap!"

I was happy, anyway. My coworkers just laughed.
