Boy George, scheduled for a U.S. tour this summer, including a stop at NYC's Dept. of Sanitation picnic, has been denied a visa. He told Papermag: "I'm pretty devastated because I am so excited about this forthcoming tour and having my visa application denied seems unfair after I swept the streets of New York spotless. I committed a crime and I happily paid the consequences and I should be allowed to move on and get on with what I do best and that is performing and making people dance and cry!" Maybe the DoS can relocate their picnic to Hyde Park.

I agree. He did his public service.
Anybody who has cleaned our streets dutifully upon orders should be allowed in the country! He's shown himself to be cooperative and worthy, no? Not that I'd go to his concert.
Homeland Security really wants to hurt him!
Homeland Security really wants to make him cryyyyyy
This is really just retaliation for the denial of Martha's visa.
visa should be lowerscae.
Visa [uppercase] nomally denotes a brand of credit card.
Was Girl George denied a MasterCard? American Express cancelled his black card?
So he's now permanently banned from the country? As in forever? Wouldn't that be a bit harsh?
Actually, several performers from England (MIA, Amy Wino) and other countries have been denied visas to perform in the US in the past few years. I'm sure it's not permanent or personal.
Fuck Homeland Security with a rusty artillery shell.
tit for tit
Disneyland wants its streetcleaner back.
