Pirate Hunting Cruises Being Offered in Russia

[Peguy]

Gotta love them Russkis!

An Austrian newspaper has claimed that Russian cruise companies are offering wealthy passengers a chance to go pirate hunting off the Somali coast.

Wirtschafts Blatt has reported that wealthy tourists are hunting for pirates off the coast of Somalia for the cost of $5790 per day. In an effort to attract pirate attack, the ships are said to cruise deliberately close to the coast at a speed of only five knots. If attacked, passengers have the opportunity to unleash hell with rocket launchers, grenade launchers and machine guns.

AK-47 rental on the pirate cruises is apparently just $5 per day, with 100 rounds costing $12 and just in case things get out of control, a squad of ex special forces troops is on hand.

Russian yachtsman Vladimir Mironov is said to have remarked:
"They are worse than the pirate. At least the pirates have the decency to take hostages, these people are just paying to commit murder."

Aargh- matey!
If ye have enough wealth, ye will be able to fight the blasted pirates!
Aargh!

I know pirates have been causing a lot of problems.
I think this may not be too bad of an idea as long as it's 100% done in self-defense..

This is probably a hoax. I know many Americans that would love it though.
