No, this is not a joke. It reminds me of the Civil War-era sophisticates who packed picnic lunches and went out to watch the Battle of Bull Run -- that is, if those fun-loving folks had grabbed a rifle and joined in the battle.
Jihad Tourism Alert: "Luxury yachts offer pirate hunting cruises," from Ananova, June 26 (thanks to Twostellas):
Luxury ocean liners in Russia are offering pirate hunting cruises aboard armed private yachts off the Somali coast.
Wealthy punters pay £3,500 per day to patrol the most dangerous waters in the world hoping to be attacked by raiders....
Passengers, who can pay an extra £5 a day for an AK-47 machine gun and £7 for 100 rounds of ammo, are also protected by a squad of ex special forces troops....
"They are worse than the pirates," said Russian yachtsman Vladimir Mironov. "At least the pirates have the decency to take hostages, these people are just paying to commit murder," he continued.
I would love to go on one of these cruises. I will even bring my own AK and lots of ammo.
