Britney Spears Songs used to Scare off Somali Pirates- news.com.au

[LequteMan]

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 has 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.

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.

"These guys can't stand Western culture or music, making Britney's hits perfect.''

LMAO. I don't think it'll work with Nigerian robbers, not even if you blast Beyonce n JayZ from Loudspeakers.
