MS Explorer crashes

OK, let me be clear here. I feel for the operators of GAP cruises and the passengers. In fact, one of my life goals is to take a cruise to Antarctica. So now that you know we're not evil, insensitive louts (actually, we are, but we're trying to be on our best behavior), now I can tell you what amuses me in my truly sick way.

MS Explorer crashed.

Not like that's a surprise. I mean, we've all had MS Explorer crash on us before. Oh, you mean thisMS Explorer doesn't run on a computer? It's a <A HREF="http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=2277">ship?</A> Oh, sorry, nevermind

Yes, we're making a pun at the expense of one of the greatest companies in the world and at the expense of some very terrified passengers in a very inhospitable part of the world. Yes, we're so ashamed. Nope, couldn't help it. Had to post it. Sorry.

I just have to wonder if all the TVs and computer screens on the ship turned blue first.

Couldn't resist. Coulda left well enough alone, but I couldn't resist. -- DG
