Holy crap. A tourism company out of England is running an actual Titanic Memorial Cruise that will commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the world's largest metaphor. There's been some critical response, but people who were teenagers when the blockbuster "Titanic" came out seem to think it's a wonderful idea. The trip will include a memorial service at the spot where the giant boat sank and then a stopover where survivors were dropped. It will conclude in New York City, where the Titanic was supposed to end up, but it likely won't pull into the pier where the boat was supposed to dock since it was converted into a driving range sometime in the past 100 years. Hopefully the boat becomes the 67th cruise this year to become stricken with an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness, and this cruise will be known historically as "The Titanic of Diarrhea."
