Woman sues Ellen DeGeneres for intentionally mispronouncing her name

A Warner Robins woman's federal lawsuit says TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres humiliated her by mispronouncing her name and turning it into a breast joke.

Titi Pierce, who said she's a Robins Air Force Base engineer and a real-estate agent, filed the lawsuit Thursday in U.S. District Court in Macon.

According her lawsuit, her first name is pronounced, "Tee Tee," "as grammar dictates." She says it's a Nigerian name, meaning "flower."

But according to the lawsuit, on Feb. 22, DeGeneres used a picture of Pierce's real-estate sign, featuring her name, in a comedy segment titled, "What's Wrong With These Ads.... and These Signs?"

DeGeneres read her name as "titty Pierce," the lawsuit says, causing "immediate ridicule and raucous laughter" from the audience.

I'm generally against capital punishment but I believe the death penalty is the only appropriate response here.

Comedy is protected free speech.  What crappy lawyer took that case?

I wonder if posting a person's cell number on tv is protected free speech- even if it's on a publicly posted sign? that's a question- not a snarky comment.

It's on a business sign.  I figure it's okay, otherwise her legal eagles would have blurred it.

[Leeroy Jenkins]

I like Jefferson as a first name. 

We are considering names for a new boy; Samuel and Thomas are the front runners right now.

The last known living 9/11 search dog has died in a Houston suburb at age 16.

Bretagne (BRIHT'-nee), a golden retriever, was euthanized Monday at a veterinary clinic in the Houston suburb of Cypress, according to a statement from the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I think his problem is that most people can't pronounce that the French way.  Can't think why he cares.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Doesn't matter if "most people" can't pronounce the dog's name. Actually, I think that's the point. IIRC, police dogs are trained in foreign languages so that civilians (and bad guys) won't know the commands. 

She wasn't a police dog.  She was in the Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department as a Search and Rescue dog.

Went to my 7 year old nephews baseball game last night, maybe not as bad as some of the names in here, but a boy on the other team name was Journey.

His mom would start cheering & screaming his name while all the parents on my nephews team looked around at each other like WTH?

Liked this quote to the picture...

"Miss, you spelled my child's name wrong." "No I didn't. YOU did."

We have a staff member here named Jesekah. Please.

You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.

 

[DallasDMac]

was he born and raised in South Detroit?

I laughed.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I laughed.

I did, too.  Alas, I also now have an earworm.

"not that bad"

 

[Senor Schmutzig]

Crew isn't bad. Not sure about Rue though. Isn't that french for street?

 

[El Floppo]

Cayden is spelled a little strange compared to what I've seen (Caden), but seems like it's been a pretty common name at this point, along with the rest of the Aeden, Jayden, Brayden, Caden, etc family.

the rest of those names are a little more off the beaten path... although I ####### love VanHelsing

A lot of those girls names sound right with the phrase "Now appearing on the main stage" in front of them.
