That ridiculous situation surrounding a petition to have CNN host Piers Morgan deported from the United States for his stance on gun control and the Second Amendment just got a little more ridiculous: According to Newser, another petition has popped up on the White House's petition site, We the People - this one originating from Morgan's native UK, calling for him to stay in the US because "no one in the UK wants him back."
The new counter-petition, which was started yesterday, doesn't have nearly as many votes as the original, "deport Piers Morgan" one does - roughly 2600 signatures versus roughly 77,000 - but it's funny nonetheless. From the description:
None
Morgan, who has been vocal on his Twitter feed about the first petition, commented on the new petition just earlier today.
