Is anyone else really entertained by this?

Just to know that somewhere in the world, life is so bad that people are once again becoming Pirates? I don't know about you, but this entertains the sh!T out of me.

Those Somali Pirates have really been busy. My favorite hijak of theirs was when they took over a Saudi Oil Tanker. I think that is hilarious and I really wish they would keep up the good work. F the Saudi's.

I think it is great that Pirates are back on the main stage and that if you're on a boat in that region then you have to be somewhat concerned about them.

so far, they haven't killed anyone and they're really just borrowing these ships for ransoms and they seem to be quite good at it. The main port in Somalia is crawling with people trying to volunteer to become Pirates and it is really bringing a lot of money into the community.

I love it and I"m glad Pirates are back. The world is a more entertaining place just knowing that somewhere there are Pirates waiting to mess with you.

The question that I always think when I read about wanting ransoms....really, why do they need the money? Do they even serve a purpose in society??

If their are Pirates, then there is probably some crazy black market material available for which money would be important. That is another fun thing, black market stuff.

Curious for sure, but not near as cool as I picture.

Hot, but I think some Somali's are holding the poor girl's sandwich hostage.
For the love of god! Set her sandwich free! She needs to eat something!

Pirates aren't back; they never went away. Piracy dates back thousands of years, and will probably continue for thousands more.
