It's now reported that Somali pirates in the Middle East have successfully captured a Chinese fishing boat and taken its crew hostage. This comes on the heels of a story just a day earlier about a British military ship and boarding vessels laying waste to a trio of pirates on a Yemeni boat that was out marauding on what was undoubtedly the high seas.
The Captain Jack image of pirates being witty do-gooders (excepting for the zombie pirates, of course) is being sullied as swift as a gale in the Caribbean. Oh, wait, that was all make-believe. Pirates are really basically just like the ones who kidnapped the Chinese fishermen. They're savages out to steal, murder and if given the opportunity, rape. They do exclusively bad things because they're desperate human beings without any grasp of civil community.
Pirates are the biker gangs of the sea, and the only time anyone ever thought kindly of a biker gang was in Pee-wee's Big Adventure, and that was after they almost killed Pee-wee.
