It was decided that, indeed, pirates (as opposed to Jesus or strippers) best contained the symbolic discourse on the post-hegemonic ideological state apparatus that is the transit system.* For what is el ciné, if not a living, breathing creature that will maul you if you get between it and its young? Eh? Chew on that. *this is all B.S.
