What the hell is this?!

Is this some kind of joke?

"NORFOLK, VIRGINIA (The Borowitz Report) - Eleven indicted Somali pirates dropped a bombshell in a U.S. court today, revealing that their entire piracy operation is a subsidiary of banking giant Goldman Sachs.

There was an audible gasp in court when the leader of the pirates announced, "We are doing God's work. We work for Lloyd Blankfein."

The pirate, who said he earned a bonus of $48 million in dubloons last year, elaborated on the nature of the Somalis' work for Goldman, explaining that the pirates forcibly attacked ships that Goldman had already shorted."

Dude that's old news. Everybody know's that the Somali pirates have been on the GS payroll for years. I bet you think it was a coincidence too that the bomb in Times Square would have taken out the MS office...don't be naive kid
