Killing Hollywood Pirates One by One
by Eric GolubThey plunder. They kidnap. They ransom. They steal. They kill. They are destroying the fabric of world civilization.
They are pirates, and piracy must be stopped.
Yes, Hollywood is filled with terrible individuals that must be reigned in.
Sure, I could blame Somalia for the problem, but they are starving. I blame Hollywood for glorifying pirates everywhere.
Therefore, the solution is to crack down on piracy at the source.
First of all, Johnny Depp must be arrested. For one thing, nine hours of screen time glorifying evildoers must be punished. More importantly, a girl once dragged me to see “the Libertine.” She was too depressed afterward for (redacted), so now J-Depp must be Deep-sixed as a consolation booty prize.
While Johnny Depp is the most well known pirate cell, the problem goes back generations. Therefore, we need to arrest Gilbert and Sullivan. This will be difficult since W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan were both dead by 1911. Their next of kin must be brought to Guantanamo Bay (still barely open for business) until every scoundrel behind “H M S Pinafore” is brought to justice.
The military court would have Celebrity President Barack Obama reprising the role of Tom Cruise, as he grills Jack Nicholson.
Obama/Cruise–”Colonel Nathan R. Jessup, is it true that you never got sick at sea?”
Nicholson–”I have neither the time, nor the inclination, to explain myself to you! You can’t handle the truth!”
Obama/Cruise–”I will ask you one more time, is it true that you never got sick at sea?”
Nicholson–”No! Never!”
Obama/Cruise–”"Never?”
Nicholson–”Hardly Eeeevvvvvvvveeeeeeerrrrrrrr!”
Any pirate that ever set foot in Hollywood would be turned over to the authorities.
We could start by arresting members of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Retired players would be easy to catch since they are slower to escape. If Willie Stargell and Dave Parker ever played a road game against the Dodgers, they are fair game. In fact, their next of kin must also be taken into custody. Special Forces must immediately get Peter Parker, Star Parker and Larry Parker.
Actually, just waterboard Larry. He sues people.
Pirates have been causing financial pain to people for as long as pain has existed.
Therefore, any Capital One executives spotted in Los Angeles should immediately be taken down, by lethal force if necessary. As soon as they ask what is in my wallet, they should be taken out with a bazooka.
Then we have to go after the Free Credit Report.Com guys.
“Free, credit, report.com…should have seen it coming at me, like an atom bomb…”
If President Obama truly is against torture, then he shall ban those commercials.
Everybody associated with “Muppet Treasure Island” can be incarcerated except for Animal. I always liked Animal. Besides, he is crazy. I am glad he is on our side.
Geena Davis should be rounded up not just for “Cutthroat Island,” but for forcing the idea of a woman President upon a nation that is not ready (At this point feminists can shut up. Hillary herself blamed sexism for her America-saving loss.). I don’t mind Margaret Thatcher or Allison Taylor on “24,” but not Gina or Hill-Dawg.
Robin Williams is a Hollywood liberal, and “Hook” requires that he get hooked. Long John Silver gets an exemption because I have been to his restaurant and like his fish basket. If I am confusing this with Arthur Treacher’s on Long Island, then take out Long John as well.
Lastly, every record executive must immediately be keelhauled. They need to face the barnacles because their unwillingness to adapt has led to the most dangerous form of criminal activity from China to the left coast.
Yes, music pirates are out of control. True, the record executives reduced Napster to cr@pster, but in the end the pirates won. The record executives retaliated by putting out even worse music. After all, if everything in popular music today is complete garbage, fewer people will want to steal it.
Software pirates are too geeky to be associated with Hollywood, and many of they have already been punished enough by being forced to live in the giant Waterworld (Kevin Costner obliterated 200 million dollars on that movie, a true piracy bomb that Somalis can envy.) known as Seattle.
Lastly, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should all be executed. I am giving the Oakland Raiders an exemption, because I am a fan of the team. Also, the Raiders died as a winning franchise six years ago, after a brutal firefight against the Buccaneers.
Jon Gruden coached both of those teams, and he made the list of People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People.
I am still bummed over that Raiders-Buccaneers Super Bowl. Send Gruden to Somalia.
Some may disagree with my approach to the War on Terror, but based on our new leader’s approach, little of what I suggested is worse.
I just wish the government profile of terrorists with erratic beards would be updated. At some point we have to face the fact that my local Chabad Rabbi is innocent, as are the guys in ZZ Top.
Santa Claus is guilty. For one, he is anti-Semitic (let Simon Wiesenthal explain why my house kept getting skipped), and secondly, he has to get those toys from somewhere.
Santa is a pirate. Oh great. Now we have to execute Tim Allen.

What about the pirates who do nothing at all, from veggie tales?
I'm ok either way.
We are all for arresting all Pittsburgh Pirates- before they come to Wrigley Field for their plunder. And, if anybody ever needed waterboarding it's the Free Credit Report.Com nerds…
One thing I loved about Master and Commander was they did not hold back in their attitudes against pirates (the whaler at the Galapagos Islands).
Aw, heck, I just love the Master & Commander series…if they insist on having pirates, Im going to insist we have Jack Aubreys with letters of marque…
Let's not forget Judge Reinhold.
What about those Pirates at the Treasure Island Casino in Vegas? Nasty, nasty bunch! And don't forget the Pirates at Disneyland and DisneyWorld Pirates of the Caribbean ride! Totally dangerous! They plunder 10 times a day 6 days a week!! At least it will be easy to find them. They post their plunder schedule right on a plank by their ship!
I'm thinking about organizing a pirate-hunting excursion, featuring light snacks (bacon) and a beverage. Anybody interested? Reasonable rates. Free life vests for the first 10 signups!
How about making MSDNC's Mike "He Who Makes Up Tales" Barnicle walk the plank?

I will do almost anything for bacon snacks! Where do I sign up?
Arrrr, that there be a good arrrticle. Gilberrrrrt and Sullivan's rrrelations should be made to pay us all reparrrations!
Too bad "bazooka" doesn't have any rrrs in it.
Great movie, well done. Crowe was just the best.
Doesn't it seem easy to handle these pirates. A large ship vs a small boat. A few water canons and you are OK I think. Or, just hire an ex-Seal to deal with it.
Works for me.
LYNCH THEM!
I guess I am going to have to find the Portland Pirates and annihilate them. : /
Too bad, I like my home team.
impossible to turn off when you surf into it; the Blu-ray is spectacular, and Crowe is simply amazing. Peter Weir at his best..
I'm okay with this as long as you let me deal with Keira Knightley personally…
I think the obnoxious songs they produced count as torture, therefore they didn't really do NOTHING. Passive-aggressive evilness is still evil. They must be punished.

We also need to ban Talk Like A Pirate Day.
There's the entire student body, faculty and staff at East Carolina University too.
aaarrrrpeeegee, matie…
This seems like a great opportunity for an Anderson Cooper butt-pirate joke. I'm still ticked off from all the teabagging references yesterday.
We need to go after Facebook programmers as well. They added Pirate-language to Facebook which is a clear attempt to glamorize piracy among our kool-aid drinking highschool and college students
Hey, you gotta admit. The whole purpose of those commercials are to grab your attention and make you remember the company being advertised. So on that definition alone, they're pretty effective.
Of course, people could retaliate and choose NOT to use the site out of spite for getting the songs stuck in their head.
The pirates who don't do anything.
Because if you ask them to do anything, they'll just tell you they don't do anything.
indeed- it's like the Progressive ads- we wouldn't partake because Peter Lewis is a hard left guy, but the ads are equally awful. Plus the Free Credit ads are ubiquitous; they are everywhere. Nothing like saturation to do the trick…
Pirates Of The Carribean should have won an Academy Award for Most Annoying Movie. If another sequel of that movie is made, I hope the Navy Seals will take them out like they did those Somali pirates.
NEVAARRR!!
Septembaarr 19th Forevaaarrrrr.
AARRR.
There is no proof that talking like a pirate, leads to actual piratism.
Ah, that pirate show was part of an ill-fated attempt to make Vegas more family-friendly. That it even crossed their minds is kind of silly.
It's not piracy if it's consensual.
Argh, matey! Me thinks you drunk too much of the ale, ya did. Dependin' on the pirate, ye've got fun or ye've got none. Ergo, there's a ninja storm upon ye horizon. Who will fight yer foe, then, ye crazy landlubber?
Bring on Santa!
Pirates vs Ninjas
what about dread pirates vs Thithilianth(Sicilians) in a battle of wits to the death!!
Speaking of bacon, it's time for lunch. I'm going to save the bacon grease, let it get good and dark, and use it as eyeliner so I can be Johnny Depp's right-hand pirate.
And from Pirates Bay, California (aka San Francisco), a hearty arrrgh!
I'll come, so long as we get to keep any and all rum captured from the pirates.
I get really confused on Talk Like a Pirate Day since my Arabic is just so-so and my Somali is really rusty…oh you meant like a movie pirate. Nevermind.
Inconceivable!!!
What movie pirates? Are you suggesting that Jack Sparrow isn't real? That would mean that Sparrow couldn't have someone named Lawhawk as his pirate right arm. Well at least now I won't have to change my ID to Sparrowhawk. Arrrgh!
How about Stringfellow Hawk? That'd be a good pirate sidekick name…
Done! And now I have to go hoist up my Jolly Roger. I'll leave it to you to figure out that pirate reference.
I always think of Vegas when I think family-friendly entertainment!?! Though I must admit, I loved the world's largest rhinestone at the Liberace Museum. Every child should see that!
I was just one "Shiver me timbers" and "Arrrr, maties" away from takin' to the high seas last year! But, I know when to stop now…aarrrrr there any meetings for that sort of thing???
Interesting. I got dinged for an Anderson Cooper joke…. I've seen tons of not-so-subtle Barney Frank jokes, but I guess Anderson Cooper is off limits. Could it be that Frank isn't beloved by the Left? Nah, that can't be it.
Finders keepers
The Dread Pirate Robert takes no prisoners. Everyone knows that.
Crazy Old Wizard–Excellent Point…talking does not count as doing…otherwise Obama and other liberals would be useful.
Bev from NYC–Everything Disney related should be destroyed, although since Michael Eisner's firing I am moderately less hostile. Also, a woman once said "shiver me timbers" to me on Halloween. I said, "Sweetness, I'd sure like to, but I think you got that backwards. You should be shivering mine."
Somedame–Mike Barnicle? Fabulous. Also, MSDNC…well done!
USA Artboy–Thank you!
Benjamin Pierce/Nathan–Don't forget Seton Hall, wherever that is.
SQT–I resisted the urge to go there…it was tough.
Slveryder–Facebook is almost as evil as Disney.
Imchiquita–Drinking orange cream soda, but it does look like a beer bottle.
I hope you all enjoyed your tea parties. I dislike pirates and taxes, but I really hate tea! Death to Mint Medley, Earl Gray, and Tetley!

As someone whose degree is in history and a *strong* interest in naval matters (hence the nickname), I have to say that the "Pirates" movies were nine-odd hours of my life I'll never get back, but it was oddly worth it to have my friends call me a killjoy for cheering on the actions of the East India Company when they pulled off the hangings in that opening scene…by saying, loudly, "YES! *THAT's* how to deal with pirate scumbags!" and laughing.
My friend is still irked at me for refusing to acknowledge Mr. Depp's character as appealing in any way.
