Mar 26 2007Snoop Dogg banned from the UK

Snoop Dogg has been refused a British visa and his European tour has been thrown "into chaos" as a result. His rep says:
"Snoop and his team are mystified at the decision and are hoping that the British government will reconsider this decision especially as he has toured here before and sees the UK as being the highlight of the tour."
Snoop Dogg was arrested at John Wayne Airport last September for trying to board a plane with a collapsible baton. Less than a month later he was arrested at Burbank's Bob Hope Airport on suspicion of possessing marijuana and a handgun. Then last November he was arrested again for illegally possessing a handgun and drugs after performing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. And then just this month he was arrested again in Sweden for more alleged drug use. So yeah, it's not completely surprising he was banned from the UK. Although I can feel his pain, since just the other day I was arrested on charges of being too hot for my own good.

lol i laugh every time....and i can't for the life of me wonder why they wouldn't want snoop a loop in their bloody country. It seems he's really only a threat when at airports...keep him away from the planes and everything should be kosher.

Bummer.

What a dumbass. Now if only we could ban him from the US, we wouldn't be subjected to his nastiness anymore.
7. alaskanchicsickle - March 26, 2007 7:07 AM
Doesn't everyone know that being Snoop entitles him to possess an assortment of illegal substances and weaponry? Well it should, come on, Snoop is one bad ass muthafucker!

ur usually funny, but that was just lame.
9. Binky - March 26, 2007 7:14 AM
I think this ban had to do with him trying to smuggle in Dogg food.

Pigtails on a 6' 4" man are the ultimate in masculinity.

Busted!!
13. BarbadoSlim - March 26, 2007 7:22 AM
Snoop is pretty much like Metallica....harmless and as current as a Member's Only jacket.
14. N@ughty - March 26, 2007 7:32 AM
@11 i agree. he's like a giant-sized three year old that still can't cope with authority
15. guymorgan - March 26, 2007 7:32 AM
Maybe he should stop wearing a white sheet/bib over his body
16. GooniesNeverSayDie - March 26, 2007 7:50 AM
That isnt fair.
We took in Posh Spice.
The UK should be willing to let Snoop in for a few weeks.
17. k naz - March 26, 2007 8:06 AM
IT'S NOT HARD to understand that when you smoke weed constantly,and then on top of other drugs your brain turns into a fantasy reality...and he's apathetic to being arrested obviously. What would make him TRULY nasty, HerpesHilton, is if he were a pedophile like R Kelly.
18. itspat - March 26, 2007 8:17 AM
Pete Doherty was behind this. He's worried that Snoop will drain his drug supply during the tour.
19. danielle - March 26, 2007 8:18 AM
"So yeah, it's not completely surprising he was banned from the UK."
Yeah, not surprising at all.
I'm sure the fact that he black has NOTHING to do with it.

Shalom niggas

It's true danielle, we hate black folk over here.
Just the other day, as I sat sipping my Earl Grey with Lord Poncelbury of Winchester in the east wing of my castle, I remarked to him how unruly the colonies had become since they decided to let them use the same bathroom, what what?
How long ago was it that he was arrested at Heathrow again?
22. DrPhowstus - March 26, 2007 8:40 AM
@16 & 21 -- HA!!!
@19 -- Of all the black people I've had the pleasure of meeting, I think you qualify as among the more ignorant. I think my friends (homies, peeps, podnas, playas, pimps, ballas as you would say) would describe you as "Nignorant".
23. dirt chicken - March 26, 2007 9:04 AM
Man, dat's some bullshizzle for rizzle.
24. lambman - March 26, 2007 9:05 AM
Um, you can buy weed pretty much anywhere in London. It's hard to get off the tube in some stations without being offered, you can't make it 3 steps in Camden Town without being offered....Why would you risk trying to being it to the airport?
25. dirt chicken - March 26, 2007 9:06 AM
Did they send in the LAPD midget squad to arrest him in this pic ?
@19 ... WTF is your problem ? The Dr is right ... you is nignorant.
26. naeco - March 26, 2007 9:17 AM
LOL POST UP UR PIC THEN SUPERFICIAL MAN!
27. boredatwurk - March 26, 2007 10:31 AM
19. You can't be serious. Yeah, its about his color. There are absolutely no black people allowed in the UK. I am sure it has nothing to do with his drug problem.
OH WAIT, I forgot the rules. Because he is a minority, he can do whatever he pleases, because he has that nice race card he can pull anytime he is in trouble. OJ has set a beautiful precident, hasn't he! I bet you're damn proud.

He black? Don't you mean he BE black?

33. Lowlands - March 26, 2007 11:20 AM
Big chance they put him on some kinda blacklist...
34. jrzmommy♠ - March 26, 2007 11:23 AM
33--that's a racist statement. Don't you mean an African-Americanlist?
35. Hemlock Queen - March 26, 2007 11:36 AM
I've never laughed so hard Stickman. Awesome.
I love Snoop, but seriously. All of that bong resin is screwing with his faculties. Such as they were.
36. New York Pundit - March 26, 2007 12:47 PM
Snoop with a sack of bud and a piece???
I refuse to believe it!
The snoopster with a bag of weed and a cannon?
This must be a setup by the white race...
MUAHAHAHAHA...
37. GG 4.33 - March 26, 2007 1:17 PM
What an idiot. He's probably going to get majorly sued by the promoters of his tour, and they got a hell of a case. I'm sure you can buy pot somewhere in the U.K., why does this dumbass have to smuggle it in?
38. Bill Clinton - March 26, 2007 1:18 PM
Wait, let me get this straight, they'll let assclown druggie Pete Doherty all over their country but not Snoop. Maybe Snoop should stick a needle in a passed out 15 year old or shoot up enough junk to kill a rhino so he'll be more accepted by the Brits.
Snoop must have really pissed off the wrong person in power cause usually stars are given a pass and all these arrests lately??? Since when do they arrest musicians for suspicion of Marijuana in Cali? Come on kids are getting scrip.
39. GG 4.33 - March 26, 2007 1:18 PM
#36...yeah, it's racist! All those damn Europeans and their plants. Snoop never touched THC/Chronic in his life. The man's tryin' to put him down!!

guess p diddy's all alone
42. woodhorse - March 26, 2007 3:54 PM
He's Snoop. We put up with it cause he's ours. They have to put up with Pete Doherty. When Snoop shows up, having done what he's done, and they have a belly full of Doherty, they are like "no fucking way".
To be fair, if Pete Doherty showed up here, (as entertaining as that would be for an Artie Bohunk like me), the U.S. would be saying "NO fucking way" - I am pretty sure - that just this once - drugs, not color, is the problem.
43. Truthseeker013 - March 26, 2007 5:38 PM
Why all tha *hate* on my man?
44. wtfpwned - March 26, 2007 5:49 PM
He has drugs and guns? Thats not at all what we thought Snoop was about when we imported his CDs! Get him out! Poncy tossers.
45. dumbphuck - March 26, 2007 7:26 PM
oh well, australia still loves snoop. maybe its because we were a penal colony that we're so accepting of criminals =P
46. ambrosia - March 26, 2007 8:11 PM
I guses they count this as counter terrorism cause you know famous clebrity has nothing to risk and they got shitty weed thats laced and finances terrorism
47. kamihi - March 27, 2007 3:38 AM
Oh I think this is stupid, Snoop Dogg is the least of our worries, I don't see snoop peddling drugs on street corners but I do see other British (black and white) people doing it, it just gives him more publicity I really don't care if they let him in Britain at all.
48. licklick - March 27, 2007 10:41 AM
US Customs says:
"Dogs must be free of diseases when examined at the port of entry."
Snoop is destined for quarantine. Fine with me. Fucking mambo lost it a long time back as far as I'm concerned.
49. CarlosKavros - March 28, 2007 5:23 AM
I wish 'they' would be ban me from the U.K. It is honestly the nastiest place in the World (being The Conglomerate Of Evil, The World's Appendix etcetera).
50. megszee - March 28, 2007 7:33 AM
Peter Doherty is allowed to be in the UK cos he has a British passport we can’t get rid of the little fucker…
Seriously - What kind of moron starts a fight at an airport - How many times has he been arrested this year?
