He knew he was not allowed here for the last 32 years however he still tried. WOW. WHY? And then to whine about it is pure comedy!

I think anyone can understand a guy being upset about winning a contest but not receiving the prize. The proper way for him to react would have been to notice that he won the contest, grab the nearest object and throw it against the wall (my guess is it would have been his pipe)
But lets check the steps this genius made AFTER he knew he would never touch U.S. soil.
1) Entered and won a contest that would take him to a place he can't go
2) Packed his bags for a trip he can't take
3) He drove to the airport for a flight that he knew would never take off
That is the definition of full on stupid.
No one can a blame a policy that says "If you are a law breaker in your country, you may break the law here and we would rather not have you"
