Pirate hunting
June 24, 2009 – 7:25 am
In Soviet Russia, you hunt pirates
A Russian cruise business has now turned the tables around on the Somalian pirates. The company provides a cruise ship for $5,790 a day, with the intent of sailing it past Somalia, and nowhere else. The business idea is simple: the cruise ship is the bait for the pirates. Try the real pirates, the seemingly harmless ship enters the waters around Somalia. And the Russian thrillseekers are loaded up with weapons to slay some pirates…
Rent an AK47
The rich russians who rent the ship are offered AK47s at $9 a day, with 100 rounds of ammo at $12. A grenade launcher costs $175 a day. These included three grenades, which are included in the rent. The use of Reeling in the permanently installed machine guns should cost $475.
And just incase something goes wrong, the cruise company provides Russian ex-special force guards.
Possibly a joke
This story might not be true, however even if it isn’t it’s a great idea!
