Can we get some retaliation banning going on here? Maybe starting with Simon Cowell?

Why do we need to be reminded of this? The story isn't new? I'm thinking it's that the mods just like headlines with obscene amounts of sex toys.

She was actually convicted of something. Personally, I think her ban was more justified than Michael Savage's though both are pretty stupid.

Still, this is a petty issue since "entry into any country you want" isn't widely regarded as a human right.

XUXA used to have a show on telemundo when i was little. (at least i think it was telemundo) my parents wouldn't let me watch local TV.

Anyway, she used to sing these songs that us little girls would love. One was "IARIARIARIE O O O" and the other one was "A mi me gusta andar con pelo suelto" and to this song, the typical dance was just head banging in a way that your hair would fall out of whatever clasp/barrette/scrunchie you were wearing.

good fun

she even had Keds with her name on it.

XUXA was an idol to many young latina girls. I just never knew til now she was Brazilian. Makes sense. She looks good still(for all i know she could have been 16 when i was 7 but at that age everyone looks old). Assuming of course it's the same Xuxa.

Xuxa was born in 1963 so she'd have been in her mid twenties when you were 7. You were watching old re-runs of her show. Her popularity however had not faded and apparently still hasn't. I've seen re-runs of her show as recently as six months ago on the local hispanic channel. Heck, about 5 years ago it was running on the pbs affiliate out here in the mornings after lazy town. (My niece couldn't get enough of either of them)

Fair point and politely put PJ. Yes it is embarrassing. I, personally, suspect that she is just there because of tokenism rather than her merits.

And fire the Immigration service. What have they ever done for us? Fire Brigade rescue people, Ambulance Paramedics save lives, even the Police have their moments, but Immigration? Terrorise families of asylum seekers and try to send them back to be tortured some more. frkk'em. Bunch of leeches.

Seriously, the only way to be treated decently is if you are not white and a "miniority". It almost to the stage that white is the miniority these days.
