Teenage Somali Pirate Totally Psyched to Be Famous, Alive

The lone teenage Somali survivor of the pirate crew who hijacked the Maersk Alabama a couple weeks back was escorted, smiling, into New York City last night for his court date this morning. Abduhl Wali-i-Musi is either 16 or 18, depending on who you ask, but look how happy he seems! This is his chance at reality TV stardom, or maybe a record deal! Or perhaps it is just a cultural thing, and his are a frequently smiling people. Yes, that must be it. No one told him that one is supposed to look repentant and/or emotionless while being escorted into prison by federal officials.
