LANDAN: A 17-year-old Brit has been banned from the United States for life after firing off an email to the White House in which he referred to President Barack Obama as a "prick," according to reports.
Bedfordshire teen Luke Angel says he felt compelled to e-mail Obama after watching programs on the 9/11 terrorist attacks and conducting his own research on conspiracy theories. Bedfordshire On Sunday reports that Angel could not recall the e-mail's specifics as he said he was "drunk or high" at the time it was written about a month ago.
However, he acknowledged using the curse word and other threatening language in reference to Obama, while also expressing clear dislike for the the U.S. government at large, in the e-mail. "It was silly -- the sort of thing you do when you're a teenager and have had a few," he is quoted as saying.
After a brief FBI investigation and subsequent follow-up by Bedfordshire Police, officers reportedly told Angel he was "banned from America forever," though no further action is currently planned.
Angel reportedly did not seem too vexed about the ban. "I don't really care," he said. "My parents aren't very happy about it."
