We've all heard of big game hunting. I mean, what could be more exciting than taking a high-powered rifle and killing a really badass animal that you could show to your deer-hunting male friends that'll make their penises shrivel up like a salt-covered slug. You know, like bringing back the head of an elephant or a hippo.
Well, it seems some Russian outfits have figured out the solution to when big game hunting gets boring: Somali hunting!
And no, I'm not screwing around with you:
Russian cruise liner companies are offering pirate-hunting trips on armed private yachts off the Somali coast.
This has got to be one of the most fucked up forms of "entertainment" I've ever heard of. Taking a boat out hoping to be attacking by marauding Somalis just so you can pick them off with high-powered hunting rifles? Wait... they're not using simply hunting rifles:
Passengers pay £3,500 a day hoping to be attacked by raiders so they can retaliate with grenades, machine guns and rockets.
Wonderful, so no longer is the retaliation simply for self-defense and the thrill of escape, but more for some psychotic urge to turn hungry black people into shrapnel-laced hamburger. This is nothing more than legal murder-for-fun.
These companies will even try and salvage any killed (but not too horribly maimed) Somalis to take to a taxidermist so the hunters can have a stuffed Somali to show off to their buddies.
Yeah, I made that last part up, but still, they probably would do it if they could. Fuck this shit.
