Damn Johnny Depp

Pirate attacks have increased 14% in the first nine months of 2007 according to this Cnn.com report.  Yes, that's right pirate attacks.

Who knew that pirates even still existed?  The Goonies must be elated!!  Now, instead on online piracy, we have to shimber our timbers thinking that the 'arggh, we come for your booty' is real and not just a Hollywood created phenomenon.  I guess the only thing left is to make a video game about it. 

I personally think we can place the blame on Hollywood for glorifying the thug -- pirate --  life.  I mean, I can't recall any stories of pirates before Johnny Depp's run on the Caribbean waters.  Do you think any of the pirates wear those costumes we see in the movie?  Better yet, are there any hot female pirates we see during Halloween parties?  That would be hot.....
