Random Ridiculousness
Posted by Bossip Staff
Some Somalians have the ‘pirate game’ on lock. They have received 150 million in stacks as ransom payments for ships they have ganked. What is ol’ boy going to do with that stick in that little hooptie fishing boat?
More than $150 million have been paid to pirates around the Horn of Africa over the past 12 months, Kenya’s foreign minister said Friday.
The supertanker Sirius Star is the biggest vessel seized by pirates this year.
The money is encouraging them to continue and become more brazen in their attacks, Foreign Minister Moses Wetangula told a news conference in the Kenyan capital.
“That is why they are becoming more and more audacious in their activities,” Wetangula said.
Pirate activity off the coastline of east Africa is a cause of growing international concern.
Last weekend pirates, who mostly operate from lawless Somalia, seized a Saudi-owned supertanker Sirius Star, the largest vessel captured to date. Another seized vessel, the Ukrainian MV Faina, was carrying a cargo of military supplies and T-72 tanks.
They currently hold 17 vessels and are estimated to have attacked more than 90 ships in the region so far this year, according to the International Maritime Bureau’s Piracy Reporting Center, which monitors piracy around the world. The attacks have increased in recent weeks, the PRC says.

Bossip, you nincompoops!!
What you forgot to mention is why these Somalian and other pirates on the African coasts exists. Big American oil companies like Chevron and other European oil companies, march into oil-rich African waters and exploit it…at the detriment of the Natives. Most of these pirates attacks are a retaliation of these attacks, especially in the oil rich waters of Nigeria which has been colonized by Nigerian businesses.
STICK TO GOSSIP AND STAY THE ***** OUT OF WORLD POLITICS YOU PIECES OF *****…
*especially in the oil rich waters of Nigeria which has been colonized by AMERICAN BUSINESSES.
no doubt 99.9% of the information in this post is lacking… cause i can’t imagine that little boat of pirates, with their sticks in hand, could jack a tanker with military supplies….lmao
i’d have to agree with Hollywood on this one.
Allll around the world same song….heeeeyyy.
Hollywood is burned out and nuts…
No one is riding on the pirates…smh
lmao@pirate thugging..lmao
this is the water war. blacks are taking they world back. no terriorism no. no super bomb. just plain ol fight and getting back what has always been theres. Shame on bossip. America started on piratcy, stealing ships of tea, cotton, gold, my ancestors. Go Somolia Go!!! The world is going through a cleansing. Blacks are the balance in nature.
co-sign Hollywood
LOL @ Hollywood BS
This is a sad affair yet all the comments have been hilarious.
I be robbing these n!$gas
Im a stick up kid
I’m a stick-up kid
That’s how I live I admit it
I be robbin’ these ni$$as
I’m a stick-up kid
And if you’re doing too much I’m coming to get it
Damn…i gotta round up some friends willing to help steal us a boat!!!!
Please, these *****s aren’t jackin because of Chevron and Co. – they cant even hold it together long enough to form a government. This is the last step of hopelessness. Simply put, it’s a wrap for them. They make more than the ‘Somalian Interim Government’ – and what do they do with the cash? Buy more weapons and party with the rest – cl*****ic *****nomics. If they were jackin your boat you wouldnt even try to blame it on Chevron (lol?!). Get a clue *****. These are third world hood *****s, nothing more.
lmmaaooo……..JAck move JAck move!!!!!!!! brace yaselfs crackers!!!!!!!
LMAO@ “third world hood *****s”. It’s always the white man’s fault with these dumb afrocentric liberals.
Get that paper Somali gangsta!
Who wrote this!? I love you Bossip, but Grammar and acurate factual content is a must! First sentence: More than $150 HAVE been paid….um….
And it was 1.5 Million. 30M this year.
If they can hustle up that many million with sticks and boats… I need to holla at them.. They got the pirate game on lock.
Now that’s gangsta. I swear them Africans do the damn thang, any means necessary for real.
BOM BOM SOMALIA.
ya dunnoe, we got that pirate game on lockDOWN lmao.
Ya’ll killin’ me talking about them using sticks to steal ships. LMAO Not hardly. They have automatic weapons, grenades, rocket launchers, etc. They even have a m*****ive “mother ship” that carries the little speed boats that they use to pursue larger ships.
I agree that the continent of Africa’s resources have been pillaged by foreign entities, and the world economies have effectively blocked most African nations out of trade, thus making it hard for these nations to survive and nearly impossible to thrive. They have been put in rough situations with their backs against the wall. I don’t condone what they are doing, necessarily, but it is tough to say how to fix this mess because it’s so deep.
0MG..
REAL PiRATEz iN 2008??..
These are third world hood *****s, nothing more.
******************************************
agreed. and if they keep it up and mess with the wrong boat they are going to have a big american foot up their *sses.
THEY’RE N0THiNG LiKE THE BACKYARDiGANs PiRATEz…
If you read more into the story, you will find that these somalian pirates are spending their money on BLING instead of helping the poor people of that country. Now that they have worldwide attention, the next thing to happen is not going to be good for them, because countries are now sending real war ships to protect their goods. And at the first sign of a highjacking they will become fish food.
I’ve read up on this because I found it interesting that they were able to capture a super tanker. Actually they say it is easier for them to capture big ships because of the size of the ships the pirates are un-noticed until your staring down the barrel of a big gun. Also they say that the pirates have been a huge boost in morale and financial prosperity for the people of Somalia especially where the base themselves. Citizens of Somalia say that because of the success of the pirates over the years that their communities have such stability with the likes of internet cafe’s, world renown clothing stores, more modern hospital’s, and even better facilities for the children of this country to learn in.
Africa has been the victim of exploitation for years. So I say take back yours Somalia.
This ‘aint gonna end well for the pirates…but it’ll probably s***** a movie or two.
Where the hell is my comment
ya’ll forgot black hawk down….woow even though i hate them i gotta say they GO bIG
I heard about this…but Pirates…in 2008?! WTH?
LMAO @ free “These are third world hood *****s, nothing more.”
I live in Africa you folls and Im from NY. Those cats got madd weaponry – dont be fooled. The stick picture is misplaced stupid ***** ! There ***** is skilled and straight Gorilla! Now the the Indians are just blowin ***** out the water and the Saudi put a hit on them Cats full strength! Any frigate will catch a missle looking suspect – this the big money game. But those Somali cats made the Guiness Book ! Solid LOL
I’ve been catching a few of these pirate heists reported on world news internet sites since 2005. And it looks like piracy never went extinct…it just evolved like every other criminal racket.
SHUT UP LOSERS yuck GET A LIFE ALL YALL BIG NOSED AFRICAN AMERICANS WHAT KINDA NATIONALITY IS THAT AFRICAN AMERICAN loool ***** U AND UR STUPID AMERICA hahhaha african americans get a country then HOLLA AT SOMALIA at least we have a country… HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
“Yaaarrr!! Give me the gas *****; shiver me timbers.” (switching to proper speaking voice”
“But you surely can reaquire your ship after further negotiation’s and monetary funds are approximated. Thanks for your cooperation and I look forward to hearing from ya’.”
One of the interesting facts that I came across is that the pirates accomodate their hostage’s with western style cuisine made by chef’s that they hire to serve the “guests” until they are bought back through ransom. That is a pretty cl*****y operation they got going there based on that account. Sweet.
Bossip is f@cking up wheres my comment?
I wonder if their hiring? I’m so tired of this office *****??
Yes bossip stick to what you good at gossip,you should do you reserach before talking about what isue such as this one. shame on you!
Could someone decifer guttersnipes comments, I don’t speak somali ghetto?
There are two sides to every story although it is criminal to hijack ships. There is another linked story that does underreported.
Ever since the civil war started in Somalia (1991), the Somali navy has been defunct. Foreign fishing trawlers often from industrialized nations have been illegally fishing in Somali waters. There has also been large scale dumping of toxic waste again from industrialized nations in Somali waters. This had negatively affected Somali fishing communities which saw their livelihoods destroyed.
Some fishermen took action and attacked the ships that were illegally fishing on the Somali coast.
Now due to overfishing and the toxic waste that was dumped in the coast there no work for these fishermen and their environment is destroyed.
This story can be spinned anyway the media wants. But have you ever wondered where nuclear and other toxic waste goes to?
Let’s hope that these ‘pirate’ attacks focus attention on the cause of this problem.

… And when they are done and have their stacks they will pitch up in the West and claim Asylum and get it.
not hardly, shar. somalis prefer somalia. i know… strange concept, but true.
@B…
please refer to the dollar sign that appears before the number 150.
i.e., “150 million dollars have” NOT “dollars has”
you’re welcome.
anyhoo…about the pirates…
so sad, too bad.
Somali girls be runn’in after these guys…c’mon they too hot for this shyt…I’m got mad crush on one and she don’t even look at me…but they coo ppl no doubt
CORRECTION: Somalia land has not been exploited and so they are the last Africans still fighting the white man…Gotta give up to them
they also happen to be the most furious fighters in Africa hands down…as the US Army says…”do not underestimate the skinny”

@BLACK ELVIS:
Never thought about that…sounds plausible.
It’s not like Somalia could even form an organized
response to let the world know…If what you’re saying is true.Large multi-nationals do have a history of polluting in the place of least resistance.
Heres what they should do,
start repo’n every 7/11 in america because everybody knows samalian *****’s own those and we dont know where the original investment came from.
Go to every airport and round up all the parking attendants and the people who check all the luggage, those are all somalians.
Just start blastin’ them large forehead havin’ n*ggas before the reach the ship.

What the somalians are doing is no different than what the jackboys and dopedealers are doing here in america. We need jobs, they need jobs and you can’t expect people that have family to support to just sit on their ***** and wait on a handout. My heart goes out to their families cause this is not gonna have a good ending.

Bossip, Your Server sucks! Fix that crap!
hi bossip,
usually people only resort to such drastic measures when they are being f*cked, robbed and raped blind. much like what is happening to those brothers. personally, i am arab, but i don’t care if those “pirates” rob the saudis. people are hungry, they want to feed their kids.
What is wrong with y’all????? Have you not heard there is a fincancial crises in the world, the credit crunch is killing the Somalians so they gats to hit hu the nearest cash point hence the hijacks…lol
Pirates in 2008? Fasinating…
Channeling Captain Blackbeard….
This is what our people have to resort to to make a living.
If America hadnt *****ed our country over we wouldnt be going for plan Z.
But thats life.
Coming from Somalia and going there I know how ***** goes down. So for the person who said their spending it on bling is just talking reckless.
You know nothing.
And who told these people to go fishing in our waters, or dump waste in our waters or come to Bossaso pretending “to help look for oil”, or terrorize our people after invading our country.
Its a dangerous lifestyle though, because a lot of teenaged boys are trying to join in, thinking its a win, but’you’re putting youre life at risk to eat.
At any rate. I love Somalia, but we’re are broke. So why not do something that will make our people a killing.
@Emla Alresa… you are welcome to take your ***** to your “Land of Poets” , Kandahar, or Bagdad and STAY. Stop hating on the United States while reaping all of our benefits of living in my country. I’ve been to Afghanistan & Iraq and you’d thank God you live in US. Stop hatin’
They’re just trying to eat.
Just because we’re poor doesnt mean we’re dead yet,so they shouldnt be fishing in our waters and dumping their waste on us. I love my Somali people because we see and opportunity and go for it. Its a nice way to make a killing. They havent killed anyone as a result (YET). So let them do them. And for the person that claims they spent it on “bling”,your DONEE!
you know nothing about Somalia and our situation.
Sorry to . over there but……
African Americans SUCK *****SSS!
BIG TIMEEE
what are you so proud of? stealing is stealing. this ***** is embr*****ing. STeal from the white man if u wanna look like a hero not a fellow muslim. THE story is wrong
ok seriously bossip stick to gossip because which uneducated idiot wrote ” somalians” must have not seen the read squiggly line underneath it its “Somalis “. so before you want to branch out into world news. atleast know what the ***** your talking about.
by the way half 99% of the boat that were hijacked were stealing off the coast of somalia (fish of course )
“Random Ridiculousness”…lol…love that Headline.
i say blow them *****s out the water.
they are our Royal navy. bossip stop calling them pirates.the pirates are those who illegally fish in our waters,dump waste in our waters, and use our waters illegally.
there is no such thing as Somalians.
We are Somali.
Please and thank you.
So…So…Somalia!!! Anotha Day Anotha Dolla!
So….So…Somalia! Anotha Day Anotha Dolla!
looooooooooooooooool Somaliaaaa stand up
Oh and to all the somalis commenting on this page..
yeh be proud and long live somalia but why you lot getting at african americans for? they aint done ***** to us..
Ya’ll are looking at the dude with the stick, I am looking at the dude sitting next to him with the rocket launcher.
Don’t try and gloss this up and make it seem like these guys are Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor….because if you’ve done any research about this you’d know that is not the case.
They are straight out thieves. They are buying big houses, cars, and bling just like someone mentioned above. They bribe and use terror against those who may oppose them. They’ve created a culture of stealing that has girls wanting a pirate boyfriend and young boys wanting to grow up to be pirates. Where’s the future in that?
This isn’t about Somali nationalism or black power.
