It's easy to be a pirate.

Just download a few songs online! You can do it without ever leaving your home. (Just don't pay for them though).

WTF France should send that Mistral ship full of attack helicopters and blow all pirate ships out of the water and be done with it. They dragging this thing on forever being little girls about it.
