Ahmadinejad!
Sure, he's a controversial man, but I think there's one thing about him that all of us can agree on: he has an odd name. It seems like every TV reporter pronounces it differently (as Stephen Colbert cleverly parodies).
How do you pronounce it? I say "mah-MOOD ah-mahdnay-SHAHD" myself. Reminds me of Ahmad Rashad when I say it...

Interesting. Where's the emphasis?
Also, I was just watching Anderson Cooper and couldn't help but laugh -- he said "akmah-NINNY-jad"... :D
Subliminal programming, maybe?

Ach-Maa-Dée-Nuh-Dschad.
But what's worse, some German comedy show has played a very well known party song, only that they substituted the lyrics with his name.
Now, whenever I hear his name or see this guy, that song comes to mind and it's even harder to come to grips with him.
Soundsample here. (http://www.1a-dvdshop.ch/songSamples.asp?id=7321919;1112131;6997352)

Whatever the true pronounciation is, it's WAY above anything George W. can utter.

Mach (as in Mach 3, but making the "ch" at the back of your throat) - mood Ach (as in "ach, you spilled my pint") - ma-JEN(focus)-idad (short 'i').

He holds his mouth well too!
He's not as good looking as Osama, but he doesn't do that effete pursy-mouth thing, so I'd say there's a future for him as a film star or cable presenter.
Whatever happened to Gorby? I'd rent a film, even if it was directed by Stallone and co-starred Paris Hilton, so long as it had Gorbachev in it. What a legend!
