I'm sure some of you have already heard of this, but I wanted to share it here for discussion. My biggest issue with this, besides Rodman's obvious disregard for placating a corrupt regime, is the part where he just shrugs off human rights abuses.
I'm not sure what to make of his claims that Kim is his friend for life and how he seems butt-hurt that people take exception to his actions. The fact that he could care less about detained Americans and the fact that North Korea hates America since forever is baffling. That he is just there to have fun and bring the joy of basketball or whatever to the poor basketball-less people of N. Korea is just more to perplex us.
But they won't. He's a high profile buffoon who amuses their leader and counters all the claims that North Korea is really one of the most authoritarian cesspools of our age.
The promo pictures don't appear to have a translator. I imagine Kim speaks some broken English, or at least enough to understand Dennis Rodman's no doubt immense grasp of semantics.
Befriending a dictator and then avoiding talking about human rights abuses with him doesn't make you a hero, in fact it makes you a coward, or potentially even worse: someone who lacks basic human empathy and integrity.

There is one useful thing about Rodman's visits, and that's that we get a glimpse into North Korea's elite, albeit one touched up and airbrushed by their propagandists.
Also apparently Rodman frequents a CVS Pharmacy about ten minutes south of my apartment.

Are you FNUTS or just dupid? Damn, here I thought yinz people on these forums were more smarter than that. Rodman been working with the CIA for years, he's a double agent doing some espionage type stuff. Don't know one get that close to a crazy dictator bent on destroying the western world and everything it stand for unless they're trying to assassinate someone or get the dirt on them. The only other conclusion is that he be trying to build a bridge between cultures or he just sucking up that lime light cuz he like attention. We all know Rodman aint THAT vain. He aint smart or caring enough to want to change eether so yea it gotta be him workin for da gomment. It's a black man in office so of course he would hire his favorite basketball star to be his assassin...,right?
Yea we just figured some stuff out here
