Someone please do the world a favor, and scuttle the pirate fad. Pirates of the Caribbean was one thing, but now the shitty fad has gotten way out of control. They actually have pirate-themed conventions now; as if science fiction and comic book conventions weren’t bad enough! Then, of course, there’s the whole timeliness factor; pirate fans are rejoicing in that shiver-me-timbers nonsense, while real world piracy has gotten so incredibly bad that it’s no laughing matter.

Maybe we should have these pirate wannabes step up and deal with the situation in the Somalian waters?
