Pirates Are Back!

Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True

pirates.jpg

No, not the film. Real-life pirates!!!!

A group of pirates seized a French luxury yacht this past weekend AND its crew of 30 people.

Kidnapped by pirates???

For real!

So far no ransom demands have been made.

The French military is after them pirates (and the captive crew)!

      Where have you been, Perez? There have always been modern-day pirates, especially in the Indian Ocean, South China Seas, and off the coast of eastern Africa. This story about the French ship is nothing new. This happens all the time. The U.S. Navy has been involved in several skirmishes with pirates around Somalia in the last several years. Even as I write this, there are a few hostage situations that have been going on for weeks involving pirates who got caught red-handed.

      During the first season of "Survivor," the waters around the island were controlled by pirates. The producers had to strike a deal with them to allow them to do the show. They eventually came to terms, but the pirates gave the producers strict borders in the water that the cast and crew could not cross. The pirates told them that whoever crossed those borders would be killed. (The cast and crew talked a lot about this way back in Season 1 in the feverish days leading up to and following that first season finale.)

      Pirates are nothing new.

      Dude, pirates have always been around. It's been going on in Indonesia for years… I also don't think this is something light-hearted to joke about. People get killed with this sort of thing.

      … Please just stick to the celebrity gossip. I'm really sick of you reporting on all of this other stuff.

      Um, Perez, firstly, these pirate attacks off Somalia have been happening for years. Secondly, it's not really Captain Jack Sparrow kind of fun - these guys board the ships armed with machine guns and machetes and hold the ship and crew for ransom. Sometimes they disappear altogether. This is dangerous and serious stuff. Somalia hasn't had a functional government since 1991 so there's really no way of controlling these bandits (who see hijacking as very lucrative in comparison to the ailing Somalian economy - ailing being the world's biggest understatement). Don't romanticise them, there's thirty families waiting to hear what's happened to their loved one. There are many more who will never hear from them.

      Pirates are not suddenly back in action; they've been around forever, and they'll most likely continue to be around for a long time. Read up about any marine chokepoint (for example, the Strait of Malacca that runs between Malaysia and Indonesia, the Strait of Hormuz that runs between Iran and the UAE, or the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia) and you'll find out how rampant piracy really is.

      No bullshit. I don't know if they are African, but I do know that they are active around Africa. These are real pirates, I've heard of them. They don't dress up like pirates, but they do stick up boats for their money and shit. I heard about them @ 3 years ago…

      Not really new news — it's been going on for forever in that region. Whoever took a luxury yacht in an area where pirating is a known problem was stupid to do so in the first place.

      Seriously.Can people quit saying "Oh they have been having pirates for years off such and such coast."Yea…we got it after the first 80 times.Some of us figured it out after the first 20 times,but apparently the other 60 assholes didn't think so…To everyone who responded to make a joke like me…WE GOT IT to the people who said they existed.But apparently in your attempt to school Perez and everyone else…You forgot to get schooled on redundancy.SHIT!We got it.Pirates are still prevolant off the coast of such and such and it's dangerous and sad.MOVING ON!
