I dunno about that, somehow real cruise ships manage to pay all their staff, keep the ship operational, AND make a huge profit while selling off cruises for $500 A WEEK!

Fire 90% of the entertainment staff, get rid of all the expensive food and other BS and see how much it'd cost. Plus, don't forget buildings have to pay property taxes every year, if the ship is registered in another country imagine the huge savings from that alone.

"They would never allow that. non-US citizens would take the boats and make a run for the US coast. Not just the low-pay programmers but especially the support crew, the cooks, the maids, the janitors, etc."

LOL what, you don't think real cruise ships use staff from other countries? Are they all jumping ship soon as it's within swimming distance of the US?

"What makes you think a controversial ship like this would be allowed in? Ships have been turned away. Not only for security and immigration reasons but for simple political reasons."

They don't have to bring the entire ship in, that'd be stupid. I'm sure they'll have a smaller yacht or two tethered for voyages to shore.

There is a form on the front page of cruise.com that says "Enter your email for weekly edeals". Couldn't some miscreant have entered this guys email address every other day as a prank or act of revenge of sorts? I know that a common revenge technique these days is to sign someone up for as much junkmail as you can (although nothing is quite as effective as posting the email address on usenet). If so, their removal of his email address would by futile, as it would be kept being re-added the next day or so.

Scoot down through this bunch and find Bruce - he looks fightening like Gareth from 'The Office'

Someone put his email in the weekly newsletter box here here:

http://www.cruise.com/

And he couln't be bothered to remove himself with the link provided in the email (Subject: Weekly Cruise E-deals) here:

http://www.cruise.com/forms/emremove.asp?email=inb ox@webguy.net

Instead he makes loud legal noises, and demands money from cruise.com for the emails he didn't bother to use the automated remove function and prefered the very unreliable ask the parent company to do it. They see the legal demand for money, and send it to there lawyers to handle, who sue him to get them off there case for being stupid, they add to the stupidity by sueing him for 4 milion.

Hopfully the judge will dismiss both parties actions and make them pay there own legal costs, and perhaps give them both a telling off for abusing the legal process to gain money or quash media attention.
