wack / sack / fack

This found poetry–”wack sack fack”—is graffiti sighted in Yokohama.

Why “fack”?
In Katakana “fack” is proper Japanese way to spell the “F” word that normally has a “U”. A quick google image search comes up with 10,200 examples of “fack you” including the world famous one from engrish.com.
