Dave Barry wrote the column in 2002, right? Pirates of the Caribbean 1 was released in 2003. Pirates became popular, and more people noticed or looked up pirate-related stuff.

It's because the Golden Age of piracy is part of our psyche. We, as a world society are immensely fascinated by the whole pirate thing. What kid has never fantasized about the romance of the pirate world? How many have professed at some point in their young life, "I want ot grow up to be a pirate!" Why are pirate movies and pirate-themed park attractions top draws? Jeez, when I was in elementary school I pored over every library book about pirates I could get me grubby hands on! Back in the goodle days (before PC squashed creativity), we reveled in playing 'pirates' on the school playground, using the jungle gym as our galleon, giving the kids on the swings (treasure ships) a heart y broadside, before engaging in a spirited sword fight using imaginary swords. The aftermath of such battles resulted in 'dead' bodies strewn about the playground - temporarily of course, until the recess bell rang, or we decided to stage another 'plundering raid'. So, it stands to reason that Talk Like A Pirate Day is so astoundingly popular. It's merely an extension of this process, surfacing in adulthood. Pirate 'stuff is part of our being. It's in our blood, deeply engrained in our collective consciousness. All that was need was a catalyst, the tiniest spark capable of setting off an explosion on a global scale! That is precisely what Cap'n Slappy and Ol' Chumbucket provided. I have a comment on why TLAPD has been so popular. It’s because the Golden Age of piracy is part of our psyche.
