I'm sure many of the people here were already aware of the Dutch aircraft designer/builder. I certainly was. I've even flown in an F100. But you are being coy to pretend the impact of the name stops there. It makes absolutely NO difference if the amp was even named after Anthony Fokker or not. Putting that name on the front of an amp that will be sold largely in the English speaking world will get a very specific reaction, and you know it. This was, no doubt, one of the reasons for the name choice.
It's condescending and simply incorrect for you to label those who acknowledge the reality here as rubes. If you like the name then you like it. However, hiding behind the aircraft designer's name, as if it somehow shields the reality that it's a homophone for a vulgar term, is just being intellectually dishonest.
Actually like duesentrieb points out there is an aircraft there (lower left corner) and not a Ben Stiller image.

You demonstrated that a good command of grammar is not always a synonym for sapience. Next time read my previous posts before you make a fool out of yourself by even writing "fail" in capitals. I defy your intellect by making you trying to imagine that even though many people, like I do, write here in English (which is a pleasure and great that people from different parts of the world can exchange ideas in this way) in the second after they wrote here, they turn to their: wife, kids, Diezel amp, friends, dogs, whatever else and speak not English but some other language. The Diezel crew are such people.
Given this: how can you be so sure that Peter thought first on a doubtful comedy before Anthony Fokker which for an engineer is the equivalent to Yngwie Malmsteen for a shredder?
Like I mentioned before: thinking outside of the box, wouldn't that be what music is supposed to be about? A good day for you too!
