Costa = New Italian Word for Sh**

February 29, 2012 by 4 Comments

Jamie Reidy comments on yet another Costa cruise ship disaster.

The Herald Sun reports the fleet-mate of the infamous Costa Concordia is stranded.  I read that headline and immediately asked myself, “Leap Year isn’t the same as April Fool’s, is it?”

A fire broke out in the he Italian cruise ship Costa Allegra’s engine room on Monday, leaving its 1000 passengers stranded onboard.

Holy Costa.

You know you’re having a bad stretch as a PR spokesperson when you’re happy to announce “no one died.”

I’d rather room with Rick Santorum at a bachelor party than take a cruise on a Costa ship.

(Note: I also wouldn’t get on any ship, plane, train, bus or other means of transportation that employs anyone in the Thomas clan mentioned in the article.)

What would you rather do than take a Costa cruise?

    Hey Jamie – I think you’d look good in a sweater vest alongside Santorum at a gentlemen’s club in Vegas.

    I’ll bring one along in next month, when I’m there for March Madness. Not sure what Rick’s plans are; jackass won’t tweet me back!

    I went on a Costa cruise a few months ago and found it very good; I’d do it again anytime.
