"According to british Merchant Navy officer Rachel Owens, Britney Spears’ songs are now being used to scare away Somali pirates.
Her songs were chosen by the security team because they thought the pirates would hate them most."

Playing Hit me baby one more time is just goading them though.

The ship would moan and creak probably in tune with linda herself!

I suspect there's more to this than "Brittany Spears is shoite"

The article That I read alludes to directional speakers that can be aimed at a small target.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/britney-spears-music-blasted-out-2646660

“The speakers can be aimed solely at the pirates so as not to disturb the crew.
“They’re so effective the ship’s security rarely needs to resort to firing guns - as soon as the pirates get a blast of Britney they move on as quickly as they can.”

(The bad punctuation is the mirror's doing.)

It sounds like they're using L-RAD technology.

I'd say the Somali pirates are more worried about the excruciating pain and permanent hearing loss than the quality of Brittany's lyrics.

Gran Hermano

The Barney "I love you" song was an all time favourite weapon for the US Army.

Any chance the Somali pirates would hijack Britney? :pac:

Guy:Incognito

Surely guns pointed at the would be better than speakers, regardless of what song is playing.

Gee, Thanks for ruining the ending of Captain Philips!
I see it now, Tom Hanks desperately trying to pirate a single mp3 file over a course of a few weeks.
