What's so awesome about him ruining things for himself, his TV channel and an innocent woman? And he still keeps going on, that's what annoys me.

Yet another example of a world of Politically correct people getting upset over a very light hearted Joke. Please tell me this guy didn't lose his job over this. Look some people have funny names, I knew someone called Mr Daft, there's a Mr Balls I'm sure you know better one's. If a foreign surname sounds like dipshit (even if it didn't) it's funny, that's just language, get over it. If Mrs Cooper meant something like poostick in another language do you not think they would find that amusing?? Well I just hope they would. Lighten up world you are taking yourself too serious, life is too short.

This reminds me of something similar where there was a Vedic king called Parikshit, which caused lots of laughter among English speaking people in lectures, because it sounded just like someone saying prick-shit. It just so happens that both names sound like dick-shit and prick-shit. So to avoid this they began pronouncing the name something like Parickit, rhyming with cricket. And in the case of the woman here, the other presenter insisted her name is pronounced as dick-sit, which still has comedic potential for an English speaker.
So prick-sit and dick-sit might be a little better than prick-shit and dick-shit, but unless you're going to change your name altogether, there'll always be someone who laughs. But then Emmanuel Kant's name is pronounced as you would Cunt in English, so..
