I'm pretty sure this is pay back for the UK denying Snoop Dogg entry last year. And hopefully the trend of denying celebrities the right to travel will continue until Paris Hilton is stranded in the middle of Africa.

If she crosses into the US, she'll be guilty of transporting drugs. Even if she crosses into the US naked.

Yeah, she's a real threat to the american gun-toting, alcoholic way of life.

If they cared about the economy, they'd let her in.

think about it

 
iammess 2008-02-07 10:36:21 PM  
Can we stop having threads about this chick? She is only semi-famous, and that is for being a crack head.

I never heard of her until she started getting about 5-12 Fark threads per week.

Let the ratty looking biatch blow through her drugs and die like Anna Nicole in peace.

WTF? Most Amerians have never even heard of her. How is letting some heroin junkie into the US going to help the economy? She'd probably overdose on her first score, so it certainly isn't going to help through her buying heroin/crack/etc. Or maybe you think she'll help the economy by running up a big hospital bill after she overdoses? Or she'll help out the funeral home which will get to bill her family for shipping her skinny arse back home?

So it's work to come to accept an award? Couldn't she just say she was visiting?

"Hey, look, I just happen to be a tourist in the U.S. at the same time this award is issued to me."

I always see some resemblance whenever I look at Winehouse. I'd never hit it. But I'd hit Kat Von D like the fist of an angry god.
And Winehouse has had more needles in her too.

I always get a kick outta douchebags like you when you comment about someone in a thread that you apparently are sick of.

No one is making you read any of this...
if it doesn't interest you then why do you click on the thread?

You are a mystery to me, you freaking pathetic little boy....

Ordinarily I'd agree with you, but I see no reason to let a serial criminal into any country that values its laws. Pot smokers, maybe, it's a silly situation, but she's a violent crackhead.

No, because that's stupid.

Um, yes it is. And it's not because it's a part of the EU that they can come to the US without a visa. It's just one of the countries the US has such an agreement with, and the US has this agreement with non-EU countries as well.

Even if she isn't going to do "work", she still needs to fill in the normal green visa waiver I-94 form. It asks, "Have you ever been arrested or convicted for an offense or crime involving moral turpitude or a violation related to a controlled substance." (It's above the "are you a terrorist or a nazi" question.)

It doesn't necessarily prevent you being let in, but it sure as hell makes it difficult.

I can't say i've really paid any attention but is she famous for anything other then being a trainwreck? Does she have some good songs i haven't heard?

This is revenge for Snoop Dogg not being let in EU countries! Your move EU, your move!

 
X_Raraavis 2008-02-08 10:34:25 AM  
I believe they told her a couple months ago that she would have to pass a drug test before she would be allowed a visa. I believe she missed the deadline.

 
limeyfellow 2008-02-08 02:03:30 PM  
WTF? Most Amerians have never even heard of her. How is letting some heroin junkie into the US going to help the economy?

She buys a bunch of cocaine and heroin, and the drug pusher then spends that money on a big car, ensuring the employment of the car industry, large amounts of gasoline, keeps the jewellery industry in work, keep bad alcohol brewing companies in business as well as promoting the trickle down effect through the use of hoes. Sure some of it is not taxed but think about howmany US goods will be bought with that money from the drugs. That might be the money that saves the economy.

It's not Fark
It's Skank.com

Oh sure, that'd be wonderful, for A Quantum of Solace, a Quantum of Skank.

/ Look what singing a Bond theme did for Sheena Easton's career.

Can't have her taking jobs away from hard working American skanks.
That'd put a gaping hole in our economy.
