Carnival Cruise Line Kicks Cougar Club To The Curb

"Miami-based Carnival Cruise Lines wants to keep man-hunting cougars off its ships, so much so that it`s banning the younger man/older woman cruises.

A party planner who booked a San Diego to Mexico three night jaunt with 300 of the sexy singles has been kept from booking any more cruises with the company, London`s Daily Mail reported last week.

Rich Gosse, with the Society of Single Professionals, said the cougars and their cubs behaved themselves while on the boat, and he can`t believe Carnival is taking such a tough stance."

I`d rather be on the Titanic than on a cruise ship with a bunch of cougars on the prowl. Thankfully I`m way too old to be considered cougar prey, but it`s still a nauseating experience to watch cougars on the make.

I feel sorry for any pirates who take over a cougar cruise ship. Most of the Somali pirates are in their teens and early 20`s, and the shameless cougars would be on them like white on rice.

If terrorists targeted a cougar cruise ship, there would be a lot of crocodile tears shed over the demise of the cougars.

Madonna may be disappointed by Carnival`s decision to ban cougars, but the rest of us are breathing a sigh of relief.
