Either A: Because at the source the artiest said so or B: Because the Jolly Roger auto converts everyone with one into a pirate, which would make the Pirate-Ninja war so much easier really.
Thanks for the info, holocauxt; pointing out plagiarism is always appreciated. I would give you a good record if I hadn't just wasted one hour of my life reading ED. I discovered something interesting, though: if the one who wrote the message in http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/4/4a/Teru_journal.jpg is the real Yamashita Shunya, he's an incredibly nice guy.
"Teru-sama, There are certainly parts that resemble my picture. However, as long as they're enjoying them individually on blogs, home pages etc., I'm ok with people using my images as a motif. In the case of commercial usage, you also need permission from other people than myself, so please refrain from it. Thanks for your cooperation.

Much thanks. I thought I liked Shunya before. I love him even more now. Kool as fuck.
I'm 9 months late but I must remind everyone that anybody can claim they know Shunya Yamashita. Hell, I can claim that I saved Nobuo Uematsu from a heart attack but should you blindly believe it?
