U.K. Teen Gets Banned from U.S. After Calling Obama “Prick”

After writing an angry e-mail to the White House in which he calls Barack Obama, seventeen-year-old Briton Luke Angel got himself forever banned from stepping on U.S. soil.

Angel wrote the e-mail after watching a television documentary about 9/11. A few days after pressing send, local British police came to his house, took his picture, and told him he’d never be able to enter the United States.

Angel’s digital rant is apparently being taken very seriously by the FBI, which placed the ban on the politically minded teenager. But Angel’s playing it cool for now. “I don’t really care,” he said, before admitting that his parents “aren’t very happy about it.”
