They hijacked a Saudi super oiltanker and are taking it to a Somali pirate stronghold to rejoice like at the end of Die Hard 3.

From what I've read, these guys usually get the ransom that they ask for.

I hadn't kept up with their latest shenanigans but earlier in the week I know I heard that an Indian navy vessel destroyed one of the pirate's motherships. I believe they still have the supertanker, but released the crew back to their homeland. I believe I also heard that in retaliation for the ship that India destroyed that the pirates took some number of ships throughout the week... I want to say 13. They also seem to treat the hostages well (as well as you could treat a hostage, I suppose.) I read that they hire caterers to set up shop on the shore and cook western dishes to keep the hostages well fed until their countries pay the ransom.

These guys really amaze me...they must be armed to the fucking teeth because like VaporTrail said, instead of going in and leveling the pirate stronghold most countries just pay the ransom. I read that they usually drop the ransom money via helicopter out into the ocean in waterproof briefcases or send them in on jet skis. And that the pirates always make the eldest pirate go and retrieve the ransom money because of the danger in the shark infested water. If they survive they are given a bonus cut.

I'm going to go check the news sites to see if the tanker was ever liberated.

Also, lol @ that video. Long John more like Small Dong indeed.

Edit: As far as I can tell from the Google results they still have the tanker and are asking for 10 million dollars in exchange for it. They should be asking for a lot more.

XFD at that video. I shit my pants from laughing.

Anyway, I wonder how is this going to end up. Will the retarded governments just keep paying the ransoms or will they do something about those funky pirates?

And I really doubt they hear ya, Zersch.
