How do you pronounce "pwned"

A guy at work pronounces it "powned" and I want to correct him every time he says it. Just pronounce it "owned" like it is supposed to be said. So who is right?

Pronouncing it "powned" is a way to make fun of people who misspell "owned".

Trust me, nothing is lamer then a kid in some of my IT classes saying everything he likes is "uber leet" :roll:
