Sex Tapes and Somali Pirates

I know what you’re thinking, what do those two things have in common? The sad fact is that it seems both happen more frequently then they should and yet society just turns a cheek and play dumb to them happening.

Sex Tapes:

Everyone and their mother has a sex tape these days. In fact, it happens so frequently nowadays it’s almost as if it’s a birthday party with celebrities chosen at random to take a whack at the Sex Tape piñata.

When did sex tapes go from scandal to notoriety? While writing this and watching Bruno, a joke was even made about the only way to get famous in this day and age was to put a tape of your naughty bits out for the world to see. It’s running rampant right now with Ms. Universe buddies and now Carmen Electra. I mean she’s a respectable woman, those Scary Movie films are a chance for her to show her love of film, not debauchery right?

I guess to me personally, it just seems like a stupid idea for a girl or a guy who might already be famous to ever let someone capture them in their… prime? I mean come on. To me it’s like a fat kid with diabetes asking for the cinnamon funnel cake special from ihop and not expecting any kind of consequence.


Somali Pirates:

While this is a much more serious tone, I’m really confused here on how it is that pirates even still exist. Especially if they all keep coming from the same place.
There have been 109 reported attacks in 2009 alone with 70% of them being off the coast of Somalia. You’d think by now that since most of the are is a vital shipping lane for the world commerce, that the WORLD would just say, “Enough Somalia, we’re tired of your shenanigans.” If we can embargo Cuba, why not Somalia.

It just seems retarded that with technology nowadays that can spy on your location from orbit and devices that can track a signal all over the planet that we can’t develop a monitoring system or fast response action plan to keep these Johnny Depp wannabes from hurting people and impeding commerce. What's even better is that Navy Officials try to talk down ships and their crews from heavily arming themselves as a deterrent due to possible threat to other nations when they make it to port. If they make it.

Maybe, big corporations like to pay $35 million ransoms to look good for the “humanized” side of their business.

The sad thing is, these pirates wouldn’t even have to risk their lives and kidnap people to make money if they just put out a sex tape...

I’m just saying.
