As long as National Geographic has no competition,
they will continue to use ifp, so we have to find
a competitor magazine and buy it.

It's Jurgen Schremp (with Juergen as the no-umlaut alternative).
Possibly Deutsche Welle's English announcers say yoorgen. However, in
German, it's pronounced yewrgen. (The u is pronounced the same as the French
u in, for example, tu.)

The question is, who will the TABD petition to in 2009 to demand a further

The discussion about the pronunciation of German ue (or u umlaut) is futile
since that sound does not exist in English, but it is the same as the
French u. The same applies to oe (or o umlaut) as in Koeln, which is the
same as the French oe.

The long o umlaut, as in böse, has its French equivalent in deux.
