“Let’s Talk Like A Pirate on Tuesday” says UK Pirate

Media contacts have been inundated with press releases from companies and charities trying to jump on the bandwagon of this pirate awareness day that has captured the imagination of people on both sides of the Atlantic.

One of the first UK charities to adulterate Lets Talk Like a Pirate Day for their own ends was the Vegan Society in 2004. Their head of PR used Lets Talk Like A Pirate Day to inspire manufacturers and caterers to provide pirate copies of animal products that were suitable for everyone. Pizza Express even had healthier low fat dairy free pizzas in selected restaurants.

With the launch of Pirates of The Caribbean II - Dead Man’s Chest – The original spoof website www.PiratesofTheCarobBean.com, led by one Capt Long John Tofu was resurrected and the Pirates of The Carob Bean are on a mission to save the world through healthier food for both kids and adults.

Captain Long John Tofu says “It don’t seem to matter to folks, old or young, fat or thin – seemingly folks o all shapes an sizes want to be a pirate for a while or at least talk to one. When I get out onto the streets o London people be stopping me to get their photo taken like I’m some kind o bearded pirate Jamie Oliver or something”

“ If you was being a nutritionologist standing in Kensington High Street no one be touching you with a 2 fathom barge pole. But stick a cutlass in yer belt , a floppy pirate hat on yer bonce and a musket in yer pocket and every Tom , Dick, Sally and scallywag wants ter be listening to yer edumacation announcements. I reckon landlubbers think nutritionology an health be boring but it be having no need to be. Course us sea faring pirate folk need to be optimumalised with our dietarimilogical needs – space is at a premium on a galleon!”

The Pirates of The Carob Bean are now at it all year around and there is now a talk like a pirate forum, a news blog, a recipe page, a rogues gallery and even a selection of favourite pirate’s tattoos.

They are now on a mission to encourage vegan pirate copies of everything from children’s nursery rhymes (this little piggy went to market will never be the same again) to clothes (silk and fur are out), shoes (no leather), cosmetics (seal oil is targeted), Doner kebabs and even nutrition supplements (there’s a new fish-less omega 3 algae oil).
