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

[BonsaiK]

Are you guys sure this is legit? Smells hoaxy to me.

 

[SoonerMatt]

Oh my god you have got to be kidding me.

 

[Monocle Man]

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.

After a long trip over the vast seas in our little motorboat one of my four companions noticed a cruise ship in the distance. "'bout 3,000 tourists aboard", he said.
Quickly we moved towards the slow behemoth of a ship, surely worth millions"
We grappled on-board, ready to wreak havoc, I and my mates were welcomed by a thousand middle-aged men in pink slippers wielding assault riffles. Never were we this afraid.

They should totally hold costume parties on that ship.
Every even month it's the swashbuckler-cruise, everyone must wear a pirate costume, like the ones in the movies.
Every uneven month it changes between the Valhalla-cruise and the shinobi-cruise, with Viking and Ninja costumes respectively.

Well, there's people who hurl themselves out of airplanes for fun, so why not also have something as weird as that?

I lolled in real life to this, by the gods the image you just painted is hilarious.
2 Things though:
1: Can they do this? I mean, sounds pretty...illegal. Yeap, combined with the dodgy link to the original article and the origami towels I say: FAKE!
2: AK-74's? And they promise that no tourist will get hurt. I mean, it's not like you can just hide in a little corner and shoot from there. You need to offer sniper rifles for that, not assault rifles.

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

Hey! As someone who lives in Blackpool I can tell you that it isn't as bad as... no actually you're probably right.

Somali pirates aren't as threatening as drunken Scotsmen up for a fight, and don't get me started on the locals.

I can see that Russian cruise being very popular with racists. It's basically a carte blanche to kill black people. Also it's not even murder, it's self defence, so even moral racists can enjoy it.

You don't know what Spetznatz are, do you?

 

[Rolling Thunder]

An excellent idea.

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Only if I can dress as a 18th century pirate, have a parrot on my shoulder and use hilariously innacurate pirate lingo while doing it.

Arr.

 

[Hawgh]

haha, those wacky russians and their strange ways. They sure are silly.

 

[Zyxzy]

...Is this legal?

I fear I do not, I thought it wasn't an important part of your post. But I will wiki it immediately. Russian special purpose /elite forces, huh. I see the true meaning of your post, now.

 

[Jeronus]

I want to see the vacation slides from that trip.

Tourist: Get a picture of me killing the pirate dear. I want to show our kids what our honeymoon was like someday.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

Ah comrades, you never cease to amaze me! I bet whoever though of this drunk a ton of vodka
Sounds lovely actually, gimme a Kalashnikov assault rifle and I'm in!

 

[socialtangent]

Holy shit, that sounds fun. I gotta get my friends in on this.

 

[cainx10a]

Next ... Trip to Afghanistan to kill some talibans ...

No ... seriously ... if this is actually REAL... this is immoral on so many level ... killing other people for "fun" ain't fun, even if they are 'pirates'. Not only that, but you are putting civilians (those morons who would actually go on that trip - in danger - and I hope those idiots do die)

 

[Xvito]

What... The... Fuck!?

So... They're going hunting... Humans!?

What the Fuck!?

I... I honestly... No.

--Xvito, it's hard to keep it excellent these days...

 

[phwbt]

It's all good until the yacht gets hit with an rpg. An AK's max range is 800 yards, but it has the effective range of 400 Yards and while an RPG can hit a stationary target from 500 yards away. It'll also likely get a bunch of current Somali hostages killed. This is the most ridiculous idea ever.

 

[Internet Kraken]

Yeah this can't be real.

If it is real, then people need to take a step back and realize that these people are hunting humans for sport. I can't believe you guys think that is awesome.

What cowardice, sir. Human beings who go to kill and thieve from others have no right to life, beyond what they can maintain. The law offers them no protection. Plus, it will curb the number of pirate attacks. I mean, do you object to the military going to kill pirates? If so, see my first sentence. If not, then why is it different when private citizens do so?

Killing is an entirely reasonable activity, if done in manner that does not harm society in general. And besides, it will be the pirates who initiate the attack, thus making this a clear case of self-defence.

Oh, and on the RPG thing - these pirates don't use RPG's. Too much chance of sinking their valuable prize.
