Wait, fat jokes are sexist???
So apparently The Pirates: Band of Misfits is sexist, at least according to Margot Magowan, the writer of this linked article:
Porno or pirate movie for kids? | City Brights: Margot Magowan | an SFGate.com blog
In truth, she raises some compelling points about how this film might have benefited from a more gender-balanced cast, but she also throws in an overly-alarmist title and some undue criticism at the few female characters. Yes, Cutlass Liz is a bit sexualized, but she also appears to be the most badass, competent pirate in the whole film – surely that’s a big win for the girls in the audience?
Oh yeah, and Margot repeatedly asserts it’s sexist to make a fat joke about a girl, although this makes me wonder what it is when you make a fat joke about a guy?
Bilgemunky Radio 201 – Bewarrr the Big Banks
200 came and went, and now we’re on to 201. Having passed such a milestone, is there any reason to trudge forward? Well, let me start by pointing out that despite the rumors, the rum is indeed NOT yet gone. Nor, for that matter, is the pirate music. Tonight we featured a new piece from Pirates Inc, as well as a first-time played favorite from Pirates of the Great Salt Lake soundtrack.

Pirates, Ninjas, Scary Scary Sea Hags…
Treachery and a Dead Man’s Promise is now available on YouTube, which means it’s no loner technically possible to pirate this film. Oh, the irony.
Floppy Pirates

Temp Drops, Rum Sales Rise
See, this is what’s wrong with this world – rum is a drink for ALL seasons. Brilliant in the winter, extraordinary in the summer, flirtatious in the spring, and tauntingly seductive but with a sophisticated dignity in the fall. Still, an 85% increase in sales is great news for the industry. Check the full story:
