Modern Day Pirates: Vanguard

[s290709ws]

aduh makin malu aja jadi orang indonesia...

[ArchNME]

This guy probably could have hired a translator for the week for what he spent a on booze that first night. Might have been a better investment.

[trakkaton]

You can lie with the camera much easier than you can do with the typewriter, because seeing is believing, and faking one isn't more difficult that faking the other.

[scoobyblue726]

YARGHHHH gimme yer iPod

[TheDardanianKnight]

Kaj Larsen's lookin for some (Butt) Pirates..............LOL

Sorry, couldn’t help myself...lmao

Please forgive me!

LOL

[7Va0Ba3]

[MrBeatfreax]

Damn this spam!~ I hate commercials!!!

[ballm0use]

Do not attempt.

[artacania]

*sigh* why not nuke the place have a vodka with vladimir putin and sleep well knowing pirates are radiated history ..

[hitachi088]

I am a Pirate .

(modern day style)

[MacawSonny]

@hitachi088 your a fag modern day style

[alexkbenjamin]

@MacawSonny 

[MrBeatfreax]

@hitachi088 LOL! This "reporter" is useless.

[azndriver13N]

@hitachi088 So you're a butt pirate?

[doubleKlutch]

And I could be wrong. Anything's possible in Asia. Pirates might love inviting camera crews to record video evidence of their faces and operations; and I'm not being sarcastic.

Certainly pirates aren't a myth, and I give this guy props for sticking his neck out to get a story. I just didn't see anything that looked authentically 'pirate' vs 'tourist hunting'. Although Chuck Norris was pretty convincing...

[doubleKlutch]

I can't shake the feeling that these guys just got taken for a ride.

I live in SE Asia and 'adventure seeking' foreigners are big targets for 'sight-seeing'. They will take you to see whatever you think exists. It's likely that his guide is setting up a show. Everybody else will play along because the foreigner will pay 4x the price for everything.

Those floating shack villages, with and without girls, are all over the coastal areas of SE Asia. There's nothing iconic or pirate abut them.

[barath4545]

@doubleKlutch I have the same feeling, this program was of quite lower standard than the usual programs. Just not being able to find a guide and translator was enough and too much banter and weaving around the subject.

[SYLBM]

@doubleKlutch i cant' shake the feeling either. a lot of their programs seem to just accept statistics etc. from whoever throws them out there. i think this show could use an investigation of it's own.

[GreatJapanLover]

pointless

[rebantus]

im a pirate fan lmao

[Kenddrick]

why would he shake hands with them pirates anyway?

[joejackson16]

i say pirates are open season all year long for whoever sees them

[lukefasss]

documentary and electronic music

who could tough it would work so well together

[VelaToNorma7]

@lukefasss go fuck yourself

[teamchemistryrex]

it just looks so weird when someone filming your own country >.<

[NSUSashiel]

17:00

I knew Vanguard was great, but that music in the background is too awesome to be true.

I love it.

[ccowap15]

Kaj seems to be my favorite corrispondit on vanguard, scratch that, ALL corrispondits on Vanguard are awesome. Keep rocking on Current.

P.S. sorry about spelling

[Zirious23]

I hope the guy KNEW if those women where prostitutes, because if he didn't it would be sooooooo prejudice. And the guy sounds like he's vulnerable in a way, he needs to ne more aware

[AAV47]

Indonesian Chuck Norris o_0

[JerardCreer]

These Indonesians are getting portrayed in a exaggerated piracy stereotype. Those dudes didn't show any real proof about piracy, majority of of the document was spent shooting in bars and whorehouses. Those so called "pirates" are just plain and simple thugs on the water. They do the same crimes committed in the states. It's even crazier out in the neighborhood. Shootings, robbery, senseless crimes committed by dumb ass, or fools who believe they can pull shit off happens everyday. It's so rid

[Godcomingwithsword]

Obeying Holy law, personal relation ship with God, growing spiritually, is the ONLY way to escape JUDGEMENTY DAY. If u don’t have any of this you going to HELL.

[metube2010able]

@Godcomingwithsword im sorry, but god is dead

[TheWhocares233]

@Godcomingwithsword Haha your god sounds like an angry kid. Believe what i say, or i send you to an eternity in hell!!!

[Mrflea14]

@Godcomingwithsword go somewhere with that bullshit

[lipoicacid]

Multimillion dollars ships cannot afford machine guns,ray guns,rocket launchers,and flame throwers??? Something else is going on?

[strategicconsultants]

@lipoicacid

i work for the industry mainly maritime freight, in response to this all i can say is that the parent firm must take all insurance costs from their bottom line and having offensive weapons aside from water cannons quadruple those insurance fees for each vessel. some of the chinese firms already have small armed anti piracy/special forces squads aboard needless to say it has become something of a big concern within the chinese maritime fleet.

[thedayitriedtodie]

200k tons of crude is WAY MORE than 1 million USD...

what a load of bull, this doc.

staged.

[jamil316]

Capitalism is Good for a Feww But many Poor People dont give a shit about Ameircan Capitalism since they will always be Poor Capitalism is Bad

[vreaulamatah]

Sayng something inteligent: nothing at all!

[splifaniuos]

asian sporrow. crazy

[gangsta2wo6ixworld]

pirates dont kill people chuck norris kills people =)

[Megadeth916]

@gangsta2wo6ixworld you'd be so funny 5 years ago! *sarcasm

[blackblood42]

lol hes a semen xD

[cyanide444]

@fukutubesuxx Haha typical response. Capitalism is not equal to freedom. Freedom depends not on the economic model, but political model. In fact, Jesus was a Socialist -- Did you know there is a form of Socialism that pretty much is based off of Jesus's form of Socialism? He was likely an anarcho-Socialist. Bill of rights is not Capitalist, it is an American piece of paper. Capitalism = Economic model preaching a pyramid scheme of hierarchy and falsely stating that anyone can move up.

[rocketzombie237]

no gun control, the reason they can live by piracy. with lack of money anyone could become like that?

[darknessb930]

I think about them... That's why I keep an eye on these kind of people.. Though I think about Ninja's too!

[freeze118]

"I am semen"

"You are semen"

[darknessb930]

@freeze118

it only works when you say it..

[adityacandra]

FYI it is Belakang Padang, and it is not entirely an island of pirates.. quite a bit of dramatization there

[pornsterwoot]

wow, they have really good audio in the short scene on the motorboat.

[JogBird]

if you dont want to watch ads; get firefox and install adblock, noscript, and flashblock

[ramiro420247]

i would of taken more then just a camara and that jhonny gide guy! wtf! his the one whos gonna kill you..

jk..jk.. but really i would of had a gun ,maybe two!

[ParaNatasha]

...impossible to comprehend but it's totally understandable. We just have to keep an open mind and analytical mind.

[ParaNatasha]

...impossible. Now, piracy in a third world country where you would never come close of having more than 7 to $8,000 in your life time playing by the rules, a family to sustain, and a government with an extremely weak structure which cannot solve for its citizen's basic necessities, yes it is justifiable. To many Americans of course this would be pure madness but until you have had a taste of what it's like to live a life other than here in the U.S. in all sense of the word, this is..

[ParaNatasha]

I'm originally from Mexico. My father was a captain of a gulf boat for about 10 years. When I was around 7 years old pirates, yes pirates just like the ones you saw in this video stole his cargo at gun point. Putted a rifle at him and his crew's head and made them hand over everything they had. Now, this kind of piracy is nothing but a bunch of bullshit because Mexico is not a third world country. Yes, it is not easy to rise over the poverty level but one thing for sure, it is not..

[ChristinoMark]

I hate those long annoying advertisements ur forced to watch in order to watch the video and u can't skip them

[ziman877]

you are being too dramatic!!!

[teamsleepnine]

chuck noris FTW!!!!!!!!!!

[XdisXnikkaX]

man this guy is brave as hell

[MrDontmakemecomeover]

@XdisXnikkaX .. those so called pirates look like skinny ass dorks... weak bitches..

[XdisXnikkaX]

@MrDontmakemecomeover 4-5 men takin over aqn entire ship is weak then i dont know whats strong. and they do it to feed their kids bc their shit government wont help em so what are they to do?

[MrDontmakemecomeover]

@XdisXnikkaX ... bullshit... what bout everyone else... their victims... they got family & kids.. normal good people dont steal, kidnap, and kill... fuck those pirate faggots!

[XdisXnikkaX]

@MrDontmakemecomeover but they dont kill they just tie em up and let em live

[MrDontmakemecomeover]

@XdisXnikkaX ... are you nuts? there is no justification for crime... your a Retard!

[XdisXnikkaX]

@MrDontmakemecomeover ???did i say what they are doing is a good thing?? ur the retard that cant read

[3vegemite]

@MrDontmakemecomeover Well but they have guns and they're many. And even a bullet fired by a child can kill ya. And even if you had a gun, eventually you would run out of ammo.

[fastandfurioustokyo]

i would rather starve to death then steal something or kill someone for just to live. if u kill you will never go to heaven because the person u killed did not forgive you. and in the bible it says that your sins are only forgiven if you asked for forgiveness to the person u did it to. since they are dead u can't ask for shit!. so i would rather not kill steal.

[zoltanknagy]

@fastandfurioustokyo well, it's definitely not good to kill but that's not true that you can't go to heaven if you kill someone. You doN't go to heaven because your sins are forgiven by a person, because when you sin it's against God. You can go there because God's Son, Jesus died for your sins and if you believe this then He forgives you. That's what the Bible says. God is the one who forgives.

[wtf0tkd]

these people are not evil people, they do what they have to do to survive... no education, no money, no oppotunity. your either a fisherman, a whore, or a pirate and im sure thats the only way to make any real money... its not capitalism that causes this! its just that way it is...

[CwazyIndian]

Don't blame capitalism .. these people have the ability to lead a decent life, but instead the do this ...

[TheLordtaiko]

Chuck let some little kid draw on his arm lmao!

[LaddieGalicia]

Lol @ chuck norris

[paintdataint]

Leave it to a SEAL to do some real investigative reporting and not this fluff that big media companies such as fox and cnn go after. this series should have a lot more views.

[hunterjackson101]

solid documentry guys. keep it up!

[SCAREDBANANA]

Holy sh*t hes crazy!

[cbashinelli]

KAJ LARSEN IS THE MAN!

[ricep1cker]

i think i'm addicted to Vanguard.

[lazy408]

these pirates suck! wheres the eye patches, peg legs, cutlasses, parrots?

[ballm0use]

yea that jonny depp FUCKINGS sucks, man

[EnavSounds]

Well good luck  for this next WorldCup

[wdp11683]

good segment.. i like how they show themselves going drinking. lol that's awesome. johnny depp bartender rofl

[Jas2davir]

malaysians should first get their government straight then worry about pirates :/

[Andy0770]

@Jas2davir By getting them straight, is to change the government.

[paintdataint]

@cyanide444 The pirates are controlled by war lords who are destroying the country and taking from everyone else. they are evil.

[wtf0tkd]

@cyanide444 capitalism doesnt cause this.. they do what they need to do to survive b.c they dont live in a great counrty like the US or some counrtries in the UK.. its the lack of opportunity, education and leadership that causes this

[cyanide444]

@wtf0tkd What's preventing education and opportunity from forming in this region? What does USA and UK use this region for?

[wtf0tkd]

@cyanide444 their government is anything but helpful obviously... is it America's job to establish education and opportunity here? We need to focus on all the problems in our own society before we try to spread democracy in 3rd world countries.. if you know anything about history you see that America has tried to help underdeveloped countries only to be met with violence (somalia for instance) besides I thought us Americans needed to keep our noses out of other's affairs

[MrDontmakemecomeover]

@cyanide444 ...Crime is Crime.. No matter if your poor or rich.. robbing & killing is wrong.. fool!

[TehLeek]

@cyanide444 Capitalism is the only reason why you have your computer, buddy.

[cyanide444]

@TehLeek First computer was Nazi German... Not Capitalist. Scientific advancement has nothing to do with Capitalism. Invention has more to do with the people in the country than the system itself.

[TehLeek]

@cyanide444

Yes, I know, Nazi Germany created the first computer, but in reality, it was Capitalism that eventually led to it's innovation and adaption to the home.

And listen, the system motivates people to invent, to be creative individuals. People are encouraged in terms of creativity due to cash incentive, and the fact they could go from rags to riches within the blink of an eye.

[cyanide444]

@TehLeek No, innovation was not from incentive. You can't bribe someone to think harder. When you get an idea in the scientific field, you work on it. Capitalism doesn't motivate people, it is human nature to succeed. Money was an invention itself, it is not part of primeval human nature. It can be overcome. Capitalism HOLDS BACK quite a few people. I have seen talented individuals held back because of their economic status; their social background. It's not fun, kid. Go see the world.

[blackblood42]

@cyanide444 you better be fuckin happy while we still have Capitalism.......top dumb ass will turn this country into Socialism. So you better be happy you have freedom because with Mr.Obama you wont have it much longer. He may be your president but hes not mine.........

[cyanide444]

@blackblood42 You do understand that most of the hardcore Communist/Socialist community thinks that Obama is a lazy, Imperialist asshole right?

[blackblood42]

@cyanide444 and do you realize thats 100% true hes a pussy with communist views

[cyanide444]

@blackblood42 Nah, I don't see him talk about the proletariat. Communism isn't a tiny little idea with one label, there are dozens of forms of Communism. Obama is not Socialist, every Communist/Socialist theoretician would agree with me. I wish he was, but he's blatantly Capitalist with a few left-wing tendencies.

[Sivuras]

@cyanide444 Most of those tendencies seem just to be there to get some guilt-tripp'd people in on his side anyway. He's not the least bit communist, at all. People who think that just don't know shit about any form of communism, whatsoever. It's scary how people have licked up the cold-war-eras propaganda shower.

[cyanide444]

@Sivuras The job of the Socialist community should be to undo this biased view of Communism and Socialism. Obama is 10x more Capitalist than he is Socialist. He's just the left side of the Center-Right wing.

[popscoop12]

@cyanide444 well it is here in the US

[popscoop12]

@cyanide444 every thing has its ups and downs

[cyanide444]

@popscoop12 Exactly my point...... But then why aren't we demonizing Capitalism?

[popscoop12]

@cyanide444 well its currently the best system

[cyanide444]

@popscoop12 How do you know? How do explain the other half of the Earth?

[popscoop12]

@cyanide444 well I guess its because im young and still can make somthing of myself in this system and don't like living of the government.

[Kingdomkiller11]

@cyanide444 pirates kill people i dont give a fuck how poor they are they can all go burn in hell this is real life jackass and those who kill and ransom people deserve to die

[jpourkav]

@cyanide444  so what, you just want to "give" them their money...... no, you go out and earn it yourself. Thats what capitalism is all about. The only people who hate capitalism are people who are pussies and think that a high standard of living should just be "given" to them...... welcome to the real world bitch, I work my ass off so I can live the life I want. My tax dollars are most certainly not going to go to a lazy faggot who complains about his situation on youtube

[1Pantikian]

@jpourkav lol, "the only people who hate capitalism are people who are pussies...". Maybe if you didn't have to "work your ass off" all the time you could go and get an education and learn to to argue your point coherently or maybe even learn what empathy is

[jpourkav]

@cyanide444 and technically, these pirates are a better model of capitalism than your sorry ass..... capitalism is not a dream, its reality. while it does give you the opportunity to do nothing with your life and then complain about not having anything, it also gives you the opportunity to do anything you want, make all the money you ever wanted, and give you an opportunity to change the world. the hardest part, however, is getting up off your ass and making it happen

[ethanlj14]

i dont think im cool enough to be watching current.

[idunnosia]

i live very close to the pirates =X

[Rocafile]

kool did u meet jack sparrow

[idunnosia]

no but i think i saw the octopus head guy =X

[Rocafile]

where at?

[idunnosia]

one day while i was at the beach?! lmao

[Goodbrews]

Stay out of the Hardrock in Kuala Lumpur.. its $8.50 USD ($32.32 ringgit in '04)for a bottle of budweiser. Interesting city, but the outskirts are surprising. Shit I only seen on Nat Geo back in the day... Tiger Beer = Nasty Hangover!

[megszalott]

This documentary is really shitty. This guy is a real wuss. Goes there gets drunk, spends a lot of money, and doesn't sees any real pirates. This makes no sense. Everybody knows pirates drink and fuck whores. Who are they? Where do they take the stolen boats? For who do they sell the merchandise? Nothing. Anybody who grew up in a 3rd world country, would have done a better job meeting real pirates. He doesn't even seen a small time thief in his life. F...ing wuss!

[fergusnow]

Respect. This guy is a fucking loser

[jiraya350]

For all you know those guys might have really been the pirates, and the ones your going on about are all in your imagination, and if they were the kind you were talking about (which they might have been for all we know) I would not want to be asking around too much questions, especially not when you're only like what 3 people? and they have guns...

So let's be honest, if you were there you would have done the same thing

[megszalott]

Yea, I would have done a better job. I'm from a country, where you can get killed easely, so I got used to not being afraid. When I was working in NY, I got robbed two times in Harlem, and the ngrs who robbed me, ware surprised that I'm not peeing on myself when I saw a knife.

[kenialopez62]

so did they take your money or did you fight back.

[megszalott]

I'm not stupid to try and fight three huge ngrs with knifes. I always had some small ammount of money in my back pocket, and gave tham that. I said I have no more, so I gave them like 20 dollars.

[warpedcomedy]

He sees plenty of real pirates! HE SEES THEIR FRICKIN HIDEOUT!!!!!

[spitoncat]

Why didn't they go a little more in depth about the prostitutes? That would have been the most interesting segment of the whole documentary. He said the prostitutes scared him. What a wimp. GRADE B

[kenialopez62]

i can tell your a customer for prostitute. am not faulting you i understand that being ugly and without personality is not good for finding a female companion. keep on paying them whores my brotha.

[spitoncat]

You seem to be a very intelligent person kenialopez. I can't fault you on your inability to write grammatically correct sentences or I can't fault you on abstaining from prostitutes. Prostitutes cost money and without your high school diploma that commodity doesn't come easy for a person of your means.

[kenialopez62]

first your sarcasm is pitiful. you win your better than me when it comes to grammar. second a person does not need to own a high school diploma to afford prostitutes nimrod. just like no one needs a diploma to buy drugs. and if your so smart you would know that about 90% of the men in the usa have used a prostitute and not all those men were high school graduates. so next time know what your talking about before you utter total nonsense.

[spitoncat]

Do you or do you not buy prostitutes? Are you in the majority or the minority?

[kenialopez62]

well am 27 and in all my years i did it 3 times which to me is not alot am not like a fiend for that. but am not into prostitutes much cause prostitutes are products of sex trafficking by pieces of shit greedy men, girls that were abused and molested by someone and some are just plain greedy.but out of respect for those that are mistreated and turned into slaves i do not like to buy prostitutes. i feel like am contributing to downfall of the morals of society.

[Rocafile]

high school diploma for prostitutes ?

[razattack1337]

@spitoncat ah shut the fuck up, grammar police are worse than they people they critic... do you seriously think it makes you more intelligent to write correctly? FUCK no, all it proves you write well, quit demeaning others and fuck off.

[ocwheenn]

one of the best video i have seen on youtube

great job

[Pedroptz]

This reporters are so lucky. They travel along the world doing what they love

[Bogglenoggin]

Great job!

[EgolandTed]

Interesting docu.

Rather abrupt ending though. 7/10

[rutgerskid0419]

he has a weapon hidden.. you can see the depression on his back...

[RambledEggs]

I don't get any ads in the middle of the shows.  It just says, "Coming up!" and then comes right back.

[Pedroptz]

Its because this is aired in television as well. How do you think they earn money? With the videos on youtube?

[saikasha712]

I hate these ads in the middle of the shows....i know they're imitating hulu, but it's still annoying...

[jiraya350]

? what ads?
