Dennis Rodman on Diplomacy Trip to North Korea

Is this a good idea? What could go wrong?

I'm trying to imagine Dennis Rodman drunk on soju, surrounded by people who come up to his waist and have never seen a black man in real life, who all the look the same to him, and whom he can't understand.

I don't understand why it seems to be the celebrity trip du jour.

A complete waste of time.

I think it just makes us look like asses. Most South Koreans already think black people are nasty monkey-men completely lacking any concept of manners or personal dignity (and I imagine that can only be far worse in North Korea), and his demonic persona and antics are just icing on the cake. Couple that with the Harlem Globetrotters, of whom we are proud, but whom I suspect the North Koreans view like some kind of circus freak show, and it's just not a good thing.

Maybe he'll become chummy with the new Leader McJunior, and we can send him over the next time some body gets imprisoned over there.
