Friday funnies: Snoop Dogg persona non grata

Even high-profile migrants have got to fit the bill. Australia's immigration services have banned rapper Snoop Dogg from entering the country after he failed a character test. The BBC quotes Immigration Minister, Kevin Andrews, who notes: “He doesn't seem the sort of bloke we want in this country.” The star, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, has wracked up a number of offences over the year, prompting the government to rescind his visa. This is not the first time the Dogg has run into trouble – he was also denied a visa to the UK, prompting P.Diddy to cancel their joint concert in the country.
