I think the media baited him into saying something stupid. He doesn't have any responsibility to do something about the imprisonment of Kenneth Bae just because he goes to North Korea to play basketball. So why does the media keep bringing up the issue other than to get some kind of reaction out of him? I mean they know what he's like and that he's not known for being rational in the heat of the moment.

Rodman agreed to talk to them so he's also a victim of his own vanity.

But with a Nork flavor-

"Was drunk? Okay only gulag, no firing squad" or "In that case, we won't execute your family as well".

Rodman is friends with the North Korean king and probably recieved a pardon. Even though Kim Jung Un isn't the rightful king of North Korea, he's still the king.

Or, "Firing squad with infantry rifles instead of hunting dogs and/or ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS."

Alcohol's a hell of drug. It makes people do and say stupid things.

I'm giving Dennis a pass. I've done lots of stupid stuff while drunk.

That's what I'm saying, man. Alcohol is a life ruiner. One of the worst drugs there is.
