All i can say on the subject is, "Avast."  Which, if you look it up, means "stop".

I wonder why popular culture embraces thieves, assassins, and slavers (pirates, ninjas, and pimps) and raises them to a level of cool.

We love pirates for the same reason that we love Santa Claus:

Because we are told to do so.
