First, the intro to this week’s Demotivator theme. It’s starting to become an Easter Season tradition: stupid Somali pirates and the sailors who take them out.
NAIROBI, Kenya – The small gang of Somali pirates fired on an approaching ship, hoping their midnight attack would bring them millions in ransom. The ragtag bandits, though, had taken on far more than they could handle: a U.S. warship.
The USS Nicholas, a guided missile frigate, was tracking the pirates when they opened fire early Thursday in Indian Ocean waters, the U.S. military said. The Nicholas, which saw combat in the first Gulf War, returned fire and disabled the skiff.
Navy personnel later boarded and detained three suspects. The Americans found two more bandits on a nearby mothership and later sank the skiff.
So, you really have to be pretty much retarded to attack a US Navy ship when you’re most lethal weaponry is second hand Soviet Army surplus and your best means of transportation is a skiff, right? Well, they are. And I want to personally thank the US Navy for helping skim the global gene pool by repeatedly taking these guys out in one way or another. With that said, here are you Friday demotivators…
As always, please pick your fave and feel free to disburse amongst your friends…. just do me a favor and gimme a link back.

before someone gets all excited, the ship in the picture with the smoke plume is a Burke class destroyer, which is not the same thing as the USS Nichols. %-)
Captain : “they did what?????”
pirate: ” dam Abdul thats a big ……………….”
This stuff just warms my heart.

The USS Nicholas was actually the very first ship I ever set foot on. I was just a fresh-meat un-salted scrawny fu## at the time and got a tour aboard her in Norfolk. I remember it like it was 8 years ago. haha
Redc1c4 – the ship in the pic with the plume is USS Farragut DDG 99.

Yeah, in case the Somali pirates were wondering what kind of can whup ass comes in? It’s big and grey, and has US Navy painted on the side!
actually, the inside of a can of whup ass looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/yjuh8tf

Until I read reports that say “all pirates killed and their ships sunk”, this is nothing more than wasting taxpayers’ money. Start treating these pirates as they legally should be treated: with ruthless brutality, and the problem will disappear. Saying, “haha you didn’t succeed this time, here we’ll give you an escort home so you can try again” intimidates no one and solves nothing.
Hey Sniper…….
Could you do one with the caption: “US Navy. Don’t Fuck With Us.”
THAT would be one I’d buy for sure.
Respects,
Excellent! Thanks.
