Last Year: Internet piracy; This Year: Piracy

Why stare at your iBook until your eyes are crossed as you
illegally download the new Strokes album, when you can be pillaging
and plundering while drunk with a dagger between your teeth? Sure,
you can get arrested for doing both, but the mates in your jail
cell will be a lot more impressed if you are in for stealing one of
the queen’s prized vessels than if you were simply sharing
Queen files. Thanks to Johnny Depp and company, wenching and
adventuring arrrrrrrrrr back. Plus, you get to say “Shiver me
timbers!”
