    パイレーツ・ロック

    パイレーツ・ロックは （原題: The Boat That Rocked）は、2009年のイギリス・ドイツ映画。アメリカ公開時のタイトルは『Pirate Radio』。「The Boat That Rocked』は、60年代の若者たちとポップミュージックとのロマンスを描いた群像コメディ。英国を魅了し、一時代を築いた音楽をプレイし、クラシック音楽以外は電波に乗せないという政府に立ち向かった、悪党DJの一団を描いている。 北海のど真ん中にある海賊ラジオ局「ラジオ・ロック」のボスで、ロックンロールDJの多彩なクルーが所属するクエンティン、正当な地位を取り戻すためにアメリカへの麻薬ツアーから戻ってきたばかりの英国一のDJギャヴィン、皮肉屋で知的、そして残酷なほど滑稽な共同キャスターのデイヴ、そしてかつての大国の麻薬密売人や脱法者たちを血祭りにあげようとする恐るべき英国政府高官。
    イギリスにも放送禁止用語があるそうでイギリスで初めて「FxxK」という単語を電波に乗せたくだりは笑えました。
