This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Upon arrival in Los Angeles, a pair of British buddies were interrogated for hours, placed in separate holding cells for 12 hours, and ultimately sent back to the UK.
Their offense? Jokingly tweeting that they were coming to “destroy America” and “dig up Marilyn Monroe.”
Leigh Van Bryan, 26, and Emily Bunting, 24, say they were locked up with drug dealers and “treated like terrorists” all over a tweet Van Bryan sent to his friends prior to Hollywood trip with Bunting, in which he informed them that he was on his way to “destroy America.”
Van Bryan and Bunting tried desperately to explain to airport officials that “destroy” was slang for “partying,” but to no avail.
“The Homeland Security agents were treating me like some kind of terrorist,” Van Bryan, a bar manager from Coventry, told The Sun. ” I kept saying they had got the wrong meaning from my tweet but they just told me ‘You’ve really f***ed up with that tweet, boy’.”
He was also asked to explain a tweet about “diggin’ Marilyn Monroe up,” which he said was a reference to a Family Guy episode.
The two were eventually put on a flight back home. “We just wanted to have a good time on holiday,” Bunting said. “That was all Leigh meant in his tweets.”
A request for comment from the Department of Homeland Security was not returned.
