Austrian village installs cameras to nab prankster sex tourists
The poor villagers of Fucking are fed up. They have finally found a technical solution to prevent thieves from stealing their village signs, but now they are confronted with an entirely different problem.Couples are making the trek to Fucking, just so they can have sex in front of the sign, and record it. Other pranksters are mooning the sign, or exposing themselves, while their friends record it. Of course, some of these video clips make their way online, which probably doesn't promote the kind of tourism the village is looking for.
The village solution involved placing video cameras above the signs, in the hope that it will make would-be sex tourists think twice about their plans.
I'm sure this is a never ending battle for the village, and before you know it, they'll be back in the news when people have sex, then steal both the sign and the security camera

There’s a fat guy (Indian or related? Couldn’t tell fr his look or accent alone) over the Internet sales desk at a VW dealership on El Camino Real in the Silicon Valley, CA, who gave us his biz card that we didn’t look at again until a few days later: his first name read “Hardik” (“Hardik” something...) No joke. My woman, being shy and prudish and all that she is, didn’t even want to pronounce the name when she showed the card to me just the last couple of days.
Well, Hardik, we’re here to play hardball, I said!
