Pirates attack cruise ship! Yarrr!!

[mhendo]

Gotta love British understatement. From ivylass’s linked article, in which one of the British tourist says:

“One of the rockets certainly hit the ship — it went through the side of the liner into a passenger’s suite. The couple were in there at the time so it was a bit of an unpleasant experience.”

Yes indeed. That whole rocket in the cabin thing can indeed be a bit unpleasant.

I hear that having your fingernails ripped out is also a spot bothersome.

Thus proving conclusively what I’ve always known: every international cruise ship should be stocked with a staff of reliable ninjas for just such an occasion.

Am I really the first person to think of this?

Not ninjas. Wizards. Ninja wizards!

but what about the Robot Ninjas, or the Zombie Ninjas, or the Reverse Vampire Ninjas?

or the ultimate in Maritime defense weapons

the Robot Zombie Reverse Vampire Ninja Shark (act now and we’ll throw in some frickin’ laserbeams with convenient shark-head mounting hardware at almost no extra added cost…)

call now, operaters are standing by (well, sitting, actually, can you imagine standing by the phone for 8 hours…), supplies are limited…
