Based on what we’ve seen and experienced there, we’ll call that a pretty accurate assessment.
According to Huffington Post, the mayor of Upper Township, New Jersey, wasn’t very happy about a sign on Route 49 that was supposed to point drivers in the direction of the Jersey Shore, but instead lead them to “Assville.”
Mayor Richard Palombo acknowledged that someone hacked into the sign and called for the operators of it to make sure it is more secure in the future.
But while the mayor isn’t too thrilled about Assville, everybody else seems to be all about it:
Look it’s New Jersey, are we sure there’s not an actual town called Assville?

Bless those people who changed that sign – I missed the turn to Assville the first time I went there. @NBCPhiladelphia

Today on my way home from the shore I saw a sign that told me to turn left for assville. I thought about it

Someone hacked a highway sign nearby & changed it to “ASSVILLE NEXT LEFT”. People are all offended. It was on the news. THE NEWS, you guys.

I dunno about you but I would totally go to Assville.

Surprisingly, nobody seems to care about the gang sign spray-painted on the lower left of the road sign. If that gang really wants to get their message out to the masses, they might want to start calling themselves the “Assvilles.”
