As anyone from the town of Pennis Wood, England, or Seman, Alabama, will tell you, defacing town signs with offensive graffiti is only funny if you don't live there.

Residents of the British village of Lunt know that pain more than most. Signs there are repeatedly amended by spray-paint wielding comedians who change the L to a C, and locals are becoming distressed.

"Drive in every day and you see a very offensive word," said local politician Martyn Ball. He wants the name changed to "Launt," which would have the same pronunciation.

Many locals agree, and could be about to change the village signs once and for all. But some want to keep the 750-year-old name in place, even if the attacks continue.

"At the end of the day we live in Lunt and we don't want to change because of a few yobs," said David Roughley, whose family has farmed in Lunt since 1851 according to Metro UK. "It is the vandals who should change, not the village."

Questions raised: Will "Lunt" memorabilia now skyrocket in value? Should we be buying up Lunt snow globes? Also, what's a yob?
