No Effin place like home, not on Facebook anyway

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16011184

A woman from a small rural parish in Ireland has begun an online campaign to get her village recognised by the social media site, Facebook.
Ann Marie Kennedy, who is from the parish of Effin in county Limerick in Ireland, has been trying since June to get her home town recognised by Facebook. She also tried to set up a Facebook page entitled, "Please get my hometown Effin recognised". But it too was blocked by the social networking site.
The BBC contacted Facebook who said they were investigating the particular case. It is understood that the firm has not banned the word Effin, instead it is believed that the village is too small to be featured as a hometown on the website.

Well that effin bad luck!

I wonder if the people in Fucking Austria have the same Effin problem?

Facebook must be effin fuming that she got the BBC involved

I wonder if its related to Elfin in County Roscommon.

Racism against Limerick people. Places like Effin & Meanus should have their voices heard across the world...

They might have just put the F in effin in the first place although Feffin doesn't have the same charm .

effin isnt even a bad word? that is effin stupid.

I would have thought Facebook would have more a problem with the word Limerick then Effin.:D

I always though it weird that even newspapers will censor the word. For example and the defendant replied "will you ever F*** yourself". Like how is it offensive to just print the word, we all know what it is.
