I kind of like seeing pirates in the headlines. I know they're very different, but I get a picture of Captain Jack Sparrow and Long John Silver every time I read about them. It keeps me happy.
The term does seem out of place and romanticizes these criminals. If they ever try to board my yacht, I shall engage them in a bit of swashbuckling with my trusty side sword... Just kidding. I'd just shoot 'em.
that is awesome,
ReplyDeleteI don't like calling them pirates..

I agree with Misfit410! Besides, I like the romaticized version of pirates a lot... yar! And I don't want my blaggarts sullied by these creeps.

I'm tired of making them sound like romantic rebels of the 19th century instead of cowardly wackos.
ReplyDeleteRemember, it is now "man caused disasters"
ReplyDeleteI'm not tired of it. I love pirate jokes.

Have you ever read about the actual pirates of the 19th century? They were closer to the latter.
