Holidays in Hell

"What kind of cruise in hell tours the coast of Somalia?" That's what Pep asked me when we heard pirates attacked a Carnival Cruise ship off the Horn of Africa. "Where do they go after that? Do they cruise by Iran with a pig and a U.S. flag painted on the side of the ship just to see if they can draw a little ground to ship fire? Then they finish with an extended visit to both coasts of exotic North Korea?"

Holidays in Hell, BTW, is the title of a hilarious must-read book by P. J. O'Rourke.
