Actually, it does. When one of NASA's probes sent pictures back of rings around the planet, news anchorpeople came up with a new pronunciation of the planet's name.

They called it "Yerinus", admittedly doing that so as to avoid having to say, "Today, scientist's discovered rings around Uranus." (pronounced correctly, it sounds like "your anus".)

"Yerinus" - which sounds much like "urine" - was actually little better, and as soon as the news story was dropped, the regular pronunciation continued.
