Take a vacation on a Russian yacht and fight some pirates!

[EmperorDude]

One of Russia's premier luxury yacht companies is offering passengers a chance to do battle with Somali pirates, and in top of the line comfort and pleasure too!

Passengers on a new cruise along the coast of Somalia are paying to catch more than just salmonella.

A Russian luxury yacht company is now offering pirate-hunting trips that promise the chance to be attacked by real sea bandits. The yachts cruise from Djibouti to Mombasa in Kenya at deliberately low speeds in the hopes of attracting pirates.

Passengers pay $5,000 for the trip, and an extra $17.50 a day for an AK-47 and 100 rounds of ammo. The price includes free origami towels in the rooms. Former Special Forces troops are on board to make sure none of the cruise passengers are injured.

And for entertainment, the comedy stylings of Geechy Guy!

Or you could just go to oakland and stop at a red light....

 

[Curtmiester]

Their offering a chance to be killed or worse? What?

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

A Holiday with a chance of dying?
Well, it's still better than going to Blackpool.

 

[Grayjack]

Oh man, that's awesome.

 

[Rajin Cajun]

OMFG I found my new vacation! Leave it to the Russians to let you pay to kill people this is awesome! xD

 

[RebelRising]

And this is further proof as to why the Russians kick ass.

 

[theSovietConnection]

Hell yeah, I'm in!

 

[sneakypenguin]

Or you could just go to oakland and stop at a red light....

Or Cincinnati, South Chicago, ATL, or DC. Anyplace with a large minority gangster population.

 

[jasoncyrus]

O_O! Now i know what to spend my next $5k on!

 

[Tehpwnsauce]

I want this.

 

[Crimsane]

The price includes free origami towels

Fuck yes, origami towels. The presence of origami towels sold me!

Seems kinda like a random thing to add. "Pirates, AK-47s, origami towels, Special Forces." One of these things is not like the others~

Alright ill get the tickets, you get the guns. Meet you at the port.

Hell yes Brother! It is on!

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

I just realised how much I pity the first pirates who come across one of those boats.
Former Spetznatz on board? God, I wish I could see their faces.

A Holiday with a chance of dying?
Well, it's still better than going to Blackpool.

I live there!
*looks cross*

As much as I laughed at the absurdity of this, the plight of the Somalians isn't something one should be cashing in on.
