Okay, this is outrageous. International Talk Like a Pirate Day is, well, let’s not exaggerate or anything, but maybe Yom Kippur is more holy. It’s the kind of thing that keeps us sane, and makes life worth living, day after drudging day. So using it to make headlines about copyright “piracy” is just too much.
From Reuters: “While pirate lovers worldwide pay homage to Cap’n Slappy and Ol’ Chumbucket by celebrating “International Talk Like a Pirate Day,” piracy is indeed no laughing matter, suffering a national economic fallout of $58 billion per year…”
Yaaaar.
(By the way, in case you were wondering, Google’s search page has indeed been translated into Pirate Talk.)
