Have you heard about the pirates off the coast of Somalia? They're hijacking, among other ships, Saudi Supertankers.
But these are, apparently, a new breed of pirates. They don't harm their captives. In fact, they hug and kiss them and let them call their families on their international cell phones.
Instead of menacing names like "Pegleg" a pirate spokesperson calls himself "Daybed."
How are they managing to board these huge ships? The ships are not armed. They've been instructed to fight off the pirates with fire hoses.
These new and improved pirates are not interested in the booty aboard the ships. They just want money - and lots of it.
I think Disney has made this pirate business way too attractive.
