"Ok admit it," quoth one of the trailers for this new show, "everyone's dreamed of being a pirate some day, right? "
Possibly when I was seven or eight, I suppose, but honestly? Not lately...
"I'm going after that treasure. I'm down for that treasure hunt," says Ben, 23, a Boston student/musician.*
Down for that treasure? Oh dear god. Or, to put it another way, 'Belay that! These swabs be addled, I tells ye, arg!'
But can you guess what's worse? The true, stomach churning horror that lies hid beneath the saucy veneer of this, admittedly fun-in-a-silly-way program? IT'S HOSTED BY CAMERON DADDO!! Oh, the horror, the horror!!
*Can you imagine the looks on his parents' faces when he said 'Mom, Dad, I'm taking time off my studies to be on teevee. I'm going off to be a pirate.'?!

How cool would it be if they follow the fish-out-of-water formula and put soft-city folk on an acutal pirate ship marauding shipping in the Malacca Strait? Followed by a camera crew watch the participants board Indonesian registered tankers with sub-machine guns and missile launchers, kidnapping the ship's captain and threatening to kill him if the said sum isn't paid.
A show about butt pirates. I would watch that!
what about arse bandits?
Bandits who steal your arses? ;-)
