The Editor would like to take this opportunity to apologise to Jonathan Ross, humourist, writer and presenter of Film 2001, and to assure all our readers that he had no part in sabotaging the Apollo 13 mission, thus endangering the lives of America’s finest space astronauts.

Ross did ask some rather lewd questions but thats to be expected on his show, and Dave handled them well.
The point is though, Jon, Jonathan 'Woss' can actually speak normally, and can easily pronounce Ross as Ross (rather than Woss) but he chooses not to because it adds to his character (or so he thinks.) Therefore, there is nothing wrong with mocking his choice.
As for Jonathan Ross, he is sick and twisted and should be sacked - but of course won't be, because this is the BBC we're talking about, and the anger he has created will help fuel him and the Corporation in the future.
