Sum 41 threatened with deportation from the US

Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley was apparently threatened with deportation from the US last week due to some of the lyrics on his band's new album.

Apparently an American journalist took offence to the lyrics of the track 'March Of The Dogs' from the band's new record 'Underclass Hero' and petitioned Congress’s House Minority Leader to have Whibley and his band mates banned from the US.

"The reporter went to the House Minority Leader who tried to have me deported," explains Whibley. "He was trying to say I was threatening the president."

The offending lines are as follows: 'Ladies and gentlemen of the underclass / The president of the United States of America is dead... And now the president's dead / Because they blew off his head / No more neck to be red / I guess to heaven he fled'

Never mind threatening the president, Whibley should have been deported for his trite rhyme scheme.

ummm you're an idiot. What good has he done? Lets see, in response to the michael vick controversy he has signed a bill that made it a feloney instead of a misdamenor to smuggle animals used for fighting over state lines. Wow yeah he's really hurting us. Watch CSPAN once and a while tard.

Jesus Christ learn to spell you utter morons. There's no frigging word limit. Jeez, this kind of spelling is what's ruining the English Language. Although no doubt you illiterate dickweeds talk like that in the street. "ZOMFG, d00d howz r u? OMFG dat iz teh awzum" Shut up, go back to primary school and learn to spell.

Also, Sum41 are not thinking they are Green Day. n00b. They make music. They sell music. Awesome music. Which is better than Green Days. This album is equal to that of All Killer No Filler and Does This Look Infected.

Deportation Of Sum 41

That is possibly the most ridiculous thing i've heard all week. Does the American government really believe that a punk pop band is threatening the president. There's a billion and one problems with the U.S at the moment, yet they waste time by kicking out a punk band for having freedom of speech, pathetic.

Deportation Of Sum 41

Thanks to the Military Commisions Act of 2006, there is NO freedom of speech in the U.S. while the country is "at war". Look it up.

Your an idiot. Sum 41 is way better than Green Day. Green Day are pussies and sell outs. Maybe you should actually listen to this cd before you call it a political record. Dumbass

YOU'RE the tard. Just because Sum 41 could be better than Green Day, that doesn't mean they can't try to be Green Day. I happen to like Sum 41 better than Green Day, but from what I've heard from the new record, it sounds a lot like American Idiot and the track Holiday.
