A British teen who sent a drunken and unflattering e-mail to U.S. President Barack Obama got a visit from police last week.

In an e-mail, Luke Angel, a 17-year-old boy from Silsoe, Bedfordshire, called Obama a “p----,” reports the U.K.'s Sky News.

The FBI intercepted the message and called police in the U.K., who paid the teen a visit.

"I don't really care. My parents aren't very happy about it,” Angel told Sky News. “The police who came round took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever."

Angel said he sent the e-mail after a TV program about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S. got him riled up.

A spokeswoman from the U.S. department of homeland security told Sky News there are about 60 reasons to ban someone from visiting the country, but that she was not allowed to discuss specific cases.
