My Borders Monthly makes me laugh

In 2001, two years after having gained fame with Stray Dog, Hiromu Arakawa launched this bracing series, now entertaining readers worldwide in a 12th installment. This time around, life turns 180 degrees for the Brothers Elric as the twosome combine their skills with those of Prince Lin. Together, they hatch a plan to trap Gluttony. Meanwhile, Colonel Roy Mustard takes advantage of a rare opportunity when a skeleton in the closet of Führer President King Bradley appears suddenly, possibly altering forever the balance of power.

Someone (
ceruleansan?) please tell me Viz hasn't really mistranslated Roy's surname as MUSTARD. I know they're not the super-fantastic-always-the-best of translators, but I was really getting geared up into investing in Fullmetal Alchemist, but if they've made such a joke of Roy's name... I don't know.
Tell me that it's just some sort of creepy Borders joke or a bad pun or some miscommunication, or...
Oh god, COLONEL ROY MUSTARD!? What does that make Winry, WINRY SCARLETT!? ED GREEN? HAVOC PLUM!?
*shudder twitch die*

Does this mean we can now publish fanfiction for profit?

No, I didn't think so. (and I'm sorry but Roy is way too kick @$$ to be Mustard).
