Starving for food, starving for attention … what difference does it make? Former NBA badboy Dennis “The Worm” Rodman, along with a few Harlem Globetrotters, is in the prison country for a film project and a little “basketball diplomacy.”<\/a> And he’s pretty darn excited to be there:<\/p>\n\n\n

It’s true, I’m in North Korea.Looking forward to sitting down with Kim Jung Un.I love the people of North Korea. #WORMinNorthKorea<\/a><\/p>\n

They love basketball here. Honored to represent The United States of America. #WORMinNorthKorea<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe I’ll run into the Gangnam Style dude while I’m here @psy_oppa<\/a> #WORMinNorthKorea<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

PSY is actually South Korean. Then again, Rodman’s geography skills put him on par with Secretary of State John Kerry<\/a>, so maybe he has a future in diplomacy after all.<\/p>\n\n\n

I’m not a politician. Kim Jung Un & North Korean people are basketball fans. I love everyone. Period. End of story. #WORMinNorthKorea<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Awww<\/a>! So, does this officially put Rodman in the running for a Nobel Peace Prize?<\/p>\n\n\n

Dennis Rodman is visiting North Korea. What could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n

— Robert Vertrees (@RockyRob) February 26, 2013<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

Dennis Rodman and some Harlem Globetrotters are going to North Korea to discuss their nuclear activity and basketball. So America is safe.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

As if tensions with North Korea weren’t strong enough,we are sending them Dennis Rodman in an act of basketball diplomacy #WW3<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

Woke up to this headline: “Dennis Rodman in North Korea for diplomacy.” Immediately went into prayer.<\/p>\n

“Well if anyone can mend ties with North Korea, it’s Dennis Rodman.”-no one ever<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

Dennis Rodman is in North Korea right now…we are living in a simulation ladies and gentleman<\/p>\n

\n

No, it’s all too real:<\/p>\n\n\n

The stories are true. @prince_mrketing<\/a> #WORMinNorthKorea<\/a>ow.ly\/i3Mbz<\/a><\/p>\n

— Dennis Rodman (@dennisrodman) February 26, 2013<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

You know what other stories are true, Dennis? The ones about the horrors faced by the North Korean people:<\/p>\n\n\n

Dear @dennisrodman<\/a>: Google “North Korea Cannibalism” and then get out of that dangerous country, run by lunatic crackpots<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

@dennisrodman<\/a> don’t know what’s more pathetic that u think North Koreans watch American basketball when most of the country has no electric<\/p>\n

\n

Rodman really is a worm.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/p>\n

PSY sets Rodman straight on where “the Gangnam Style dude” is from:<\/p>\n\n\n
