Your joke really hits home for me, because I did a short stint as an announcer on one of our local radio stations here in the SF Bay Area (KDFC - which still exists under ownership of the University of Southern California, much to the chagrin of local Stanford and Cal alumni!). Before my first program, I was being shown "the ropes" by one of the station's administrators, and one rule he gave me was, "When you say the word, 'pianist', make SURE you put the accent on the second syllable, never the first!". He then went on to explain that there is this contingent of little old ladies who don't have anything better to do with their time than listen to radio stations and report FCC violations. Up until that time, the announcers at KDFC used to pronounce "pianist" with the accent on the first syllable (which in fact is the proper pronunciation). But when the station's license came up for renewal, one of the complaints the FCC had received was from an LOL local listener who accused one of the station's announcers of saying 'penis' on the air! The station still got their license renewed, but they wanted to avoid trouble in the future! ;-)
