Obscene town name!

[andy29]

I've just downloaded OpenTTD and it's absolutely brilliant. But I've just noticed a town called 'Cuntburg'. Not that I'm particularly worried myself, but some people would consider this name obscene for obvious reasons, and it wouldn't be great for children that are playing the game. Is there any way you can change that? I don't know if it appeared in the original TTDX.

Considering there's several very rude towns and villages spread about the united kingdom... Just a sample of those near to me:

Dick Slack, Upperthong, Nob End, Penistone and... Pisser Clough.

Then there's places like Cockermouth, Clitlick, Dykeside, Faggot, Three Cocks and Wetwang. It seems Cuntburg is par for the course...

Just press 'rename town' to give the town a different name. Adults who are offended, obviously can change the town's name, children won't even know what it means.

and this way OTTD is pornographic game

Yes, but c**t is considered by many people to be a very strong word.
Would you put in default towns called s**tsville, or f**kdon? Though I doubt it was intentional.

I'm not complaining, I'd just thought I'd point it out as a minor issue

In TTD, these sorts of words are actually handled specially and replaced by less offensive four-letter words. I'm surprised OTTD doesn't do it that way too.

There's even an Austrian village called f*** http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_981264.html

never seen any offensive words in ottd,

On the ordinance survey map I was searching for towns that sound like common swear words.

s*** is the best one.

There's a village up in the Taff valley whose name transltes literally to "Bear's Arse". Nobody's complained yet

My favourite finding on an OS map, less obscene, would be this one (you're looking at the left-hand edge of the map) - found purely by accident. Anyone else notice that it should be at Portmeirion, surely?

Boy, there are some funny names about! I've seen f*cking before... it was mentioned on Graham Norton's show ages ago

and btw. whats a c***?

Female genitalia. It seems to be the one thing you just can't say on TV, even late at night when no other swearing is bleeped.

Must be a UK thing then . Dutch TV is not that picky.

Unless you are Graham Norton, of course... He's got away with it before...

My current challenge game has a Farttown in, just to bring the subject back to almost relevant...

I know... maybe it's okay at later times. Conveniently for this topic, last Friday's Big Brother (between 21:00 and 21:30) had swearing, but c*nt was the only word to be bleeped out.

Does the program generate town names then? It must have a sense of humor!
