Has the world gone stark staring bonkers, or is it just me....

A British Tourist refused entry into US after tweeting he was going to 'destroy america' to a mate.

Clearly meaning 'destroy' as in have a good time, not actually try to destroy anything. Because if they were a Terrorist, I'm sure they would be sending tweets like that out, just , you know. make people aware of their intentions...

Full Story

I'm all for being vigilant etc etc, but has no-one heard of using common sense...

Sooo... they are checking tweeter at the airport now? lol

Celebrate by pirating a dozen movies. :p

I remember one dude was banned from USA because he sent insulting email to Obama.

Nothing surprises me , when it comes to US :P

Wow O.o Paranoid, much? xD

The true question is: how did they know HE wrote this?! ECHELON or some other shit?

Haha new stuff to annoy my US buddies.

They are getting a bit bored with me poking fun at their Electoral candidates

First they banish all crimetalk and then they will banish all crimethought.

If you listen closely you can hear George Orwell yelling obscenities from his grave.

A certain section of the US has always been strongly isolationist though it took what 3 years to convince the US to join WWI and 2 years (and an attack on their own military) before they would allow the president to actually join WWII. Right now I'd say the isolationists are winning won't be long now before they try and close the borders...

erm...whaaa?

Google Tony Farrell, sacked from his job for saying what he thought.

I like how they searched their baggage for shovels in case they were actually planning on digging up Marilyn Monroe. What?

Also, Marilyn Monroe is buried behind half a meter of solid marble, in a crypt in Los Angeles. Not like you could have just dug up her coffin at some anonymous, overgrown graveyard.

What I want to know his, how the fuck did they know?

Makes me wonder what happens if I write a facebook message now containing any combination of the words "terrorist", "bomb", "destroy", "kill", "annihilate", "blow up", "demolish", "usurp", and "USA".

how did the authorities know it was him? did he tweet under his real name or what?

apart from that, the guy comes across like a proper jerk. he got served.

I'm not sure how you think he comes across as a jerk, unless being outraged at being treated like a terrorist because of an innocuous comment (using American slang, no less) is being a jerk...

So that British student who is going to be extradited to US has to tweet a similar message and he's free!
