Britney Spears is being used as a secret weapon to fight Somali pirates.
The singer’s hits are being blasted out by tanker crews to deter kidnap attacks, merchant navy officer Rachel Owens told Metro UK.
Spears’s chart-toppers “Oops! I Did It Again" and "Baby One More Time” have proved to be the most effective at keeping the bandits at bay, she said.
Second Officer Owens, who works on supertankers off the east coast of Africa, said: “Her songs were chosen by the security team because they thought the pirates would hate them most.

I just read that couple of days ago. Probably just a marketing trick.

The directional speakers aimed at the pirates are such that Spears' music does not bother the sailors aboard the supertankers.
Not sure how that works, but eh.

Saw those things on Future Weapons once, standing next to and behind it you hear nothing, but in the front it is very unpleasant.

They're fkin pirates who are so desperate for money they're willing to go out on open seas 600 miles away from the shore, ready to face and dodge various Navy ships, fight armed guards on boats and you're telling me some Britney Spears music is going to deter them?
Bitch please
