We seem to get a lot of American performers moving to the UK, and frankly some of them we don't want. So while we are grateful that you gave us Jimi Hendrix, T S Eliot, and Rich Hall - you have also lumbered us with Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna.
So join the Campaign to Repatriate American Performers and tell us which US entertainers would you throw back and which would keep?

I won't support this campaign in any way. If we deport the American performers, they would undoubtedly retaliate by returning all the washed up British performers who have moved to the US.
I think we get a better deal by just keeping Madge out the way in her country farm house.

Who on earth could they send back that would be worse than Madge?

Yes.
Please think of Ringo Starr. He needs to live in LA for health reasons (though he would gladly live in Liverpool if he could, of course... of course).
will someone please think of Ringo Starr!!

Perhaps if we negotiate a tradeoff where we return one American performer and they return one British, hopefully one we can put away in the countryside or in an old peoples' home.

Ah, the joys of having few if any Canadian performers. No one knows who they are so they can't be sent back when they get used up.

I would say you're a cruel bastard, but it's better them than us!
EDIT: Oh, and just actually read your name... EB kicks ass. Quite possibly the greatest mod for a game ever. :)

You can keep any Spice Girls you may have over there at the moment! We'd like to send you more, but we're keeping the ones with the small amount of talent.

I can't tell you how annoying it is having a person who I'll never know live in the same country as me!
Needless to say, it occupies all my thoughts.
Maybe you could look at this way: if someone wants to come and live in your country, that's a positive thing.
but we appreciated John Candy.
Fat lot of good his corpse does us.

Pamela Anderson needs a one way ticket back to Canada too. Can't believe no one has thought of this atrocity committed on the United States.

Good! Because I don't wanna be your underwear! ;)

We'll gladly take back Gwyneth Paltrow(she's hot) but if you're going to send back Madonna, you have to take the Beckham's, Simon Cowell, and Eddie Izzard and keep the Spice Girls on your side of the Atlantic.

Obviously a number of you do want them because you buy their music and see their movies. Once that stops they'll leave willingly.

If you're going to let them all in, you're going to get some good and some bad. If I were you, I'd lose Madonna in a second. But it doesn't much matter where annoying celebs go, the entertainment news is there to document their idiocy.

Didn't we just send Celine Dion back to the Great White North, where she belongs?
