If you're going to seize ships at sea, snagging a bloated cruise vessel is probably doin' it right.

PARIS, France (AP) -- Pirates seized control of a French cruise ship Friday off the coast of Somalia, France's Foreign Ministry said.

A ministry official said details about the attack were scarce, and it was not clear how many crew members were on board the ship or if there were any passengers.

I wonder if Somalia would be a good place to find work as a pirate.

Jesus Christ, the last time I was on a boat it was a river taxi in the city but even I know not to fucking set sail around the coast of Somalia these days.

Actually it's probably the worst thing they could have done, they could make far more money from a container ship and it wouldn't have got any press.

Now even the French will have to do something about it.

Alright, alright, enough of the silly french prejudices. We won't taunt them, or raise the white flag, no no, we'll do what we always do when dealing with foreigners.

We'll be serve them coffee disdainfully.
