It's another Unwanted Valentine, this time from "The Matrix" (1999), with an obvious Viagra joke.  Is that joke obvious?  Then you know I'm gonna make it!

Unwanted Valentines: Pirates of the Caribbean (2003)

Unwanted Valentines:
Pirates of the Caribbean (2003)

It's time again for an Unwanted Valentine--Valentines so nerdy and built upon puns so terrible that no one would be pleased to receive them... especially a loved one!  This time we're starting with an obvious Pirate pun with "Pirates of the Caribbean" (2003).

Also, I decided with a PG-rated joke, rather than on that is rated... ARRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrr!  After that terrible joke, I'll show myself out...
