I totally understand the appeal of pirates. Let's face it, Johnny Depp brought his charm to Captain Jack Sparrow. The Swashbuckling pirate allowed for boys (and girls thanks to Keira Knightly) to be boisterous and playful. Daring rescues and sword fights followed by laughter and merriment. Who wouldn't want this life?
However, we never think about the stinky side of pirates. No bathing for weeks- months. Doubtful a toothbrush is anywhere to be found in essentials- just plenty of rum! Thievery is a way of life. Yet, we glamorize and fantasize about the life of a pirate. We even encourage it at a very young age to our children!!!!!!
Maybe Vegetales got it right afterall!
