It's not as much of a mispronounciation of peas,  as much as people slurring peace. ;)

No, we pronounce them differently too, but they're close enough for the pun to work.

Peas = "peeze"
Peace = "peece"

But if you've never heard the phrase "give peace a chance" then it could be hard to get the pun, so it's probably more of a difference in pop culture than a difference in pronunciation.

westrim:
All we are saying is, give peas a chance (to sound kinda sorta like peace. There's a reason it's a bad pun).

This is proving to be a rather surreal week, even by QC standards....
