A British teenager who sent an e-mail to the White House calling President Obama a “pr*ck” was banned from the U.S. for life, The Sun<\/em> reported Monday.<\/p>\n

The FBI asked local cops to tell college student Luke Angel, 17, that his drunken insult was “unacceptable.”<\/p>\n

Angel claims he fired off a single e-mail criticizing the U.S. government after seeing a television program about the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n

He said, “I don’t remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk. But I think I called Barack Obama a pr*ck. It was silly — the sort of thing you do when you’re a teenager and have had a few.”<\/p>\n

Angel, of Bedford, in central England, said it was “a bit extreme” for the FBI to act. <\/p>\n

“The police came and took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever. I don’t really care but my parents aren’t very happy,” he said. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Note that I’ve been very careful not to spell out that “unacceptable” word in the headline. No need to risk that just for reporting the news, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
