    I always find that shit like this could be very easily resolved by a single person going on Google Maps Bing maps and searching for the place.

    There are many places with seemingly stupid names.

      And there’s the problem. It wasn’t so much they refused to acknowledge the city existed. The company refused to acknowledge they had to provide support staff beyond seeing a ticket and closing the ticket.

      Check out place names in Newfoundland, Canada. We’ve got Dildo, Placentia, Conception Bay, and many more. We’ve also got Heart’s Desire, Heart’s Content, and Hearts Delight, not necessarily inappropriate names but I could see someone flagging it as a fake name nevertheless.

      The customer support center was probably locked from accessing any website except a tightly controlled set of pages and tools. Even Maps is too easy to turn into a game. Look at Geoguesser.

      I remember in high school we would use MS Paint and an eraser tool to make a game where you had to trace over a similar sized line and whoever had the most erased without backtracking won. Point being, people will make a game out of anything so petty tyrants managers have to lock that shit down to focus their people on the work.
