Dennis Rodman Puts The New Abnormal Into Absurd Perspective
In yet another day in which no matter how good or bad (and by bad we obviously mean very good) the news is the only outcome is the now endless levitation in the DJIA, here is something out of left field. "14 time zones away" field. Because who better to explain what is "really" happening in the new grotesque, surreal, absurd abnormal, where up is down, bad is good is better, Americans engaged in combat in the US can and will be blown up by remote controled US airplanes, and absolutely everything is centrally-planned, than Dennis Rodman.
From the Daily Currant:
After his announcement [that he is moving to Pyongyang to coach the North Korean basketball team] Rodman took questions from the assembled journalists, who were especially keen to inquire about his increasing engagement with a regime known for terrible human rights abuses.
"Yeah, I heard in the media that maybe he's killed thousands in death camps," Rodman explained,"But how do we know that's true? This is the same media that told us that Pol Pot and Stalin killed millions, and everyone knows that was just CIA propaganda right?
"So I don't know anything about that. You can't believe what you hear in the media. He's always been real cool with me, so I'm cool with him, ya know?
"America puts people in jail too. Don't act like we're different just because we give them a trial and all that. That's some nonsense right there. Just some nonsense."
Asked about North Korea's prospects for qualifying for the basketball competition at the 2016 games, Rodman says he's optimistic about their chances.
"They got some good ball players over there, and they just need a little guidance. See that's what I'm all about. That's what the Olympics are all about. Trying to bring peace though sports.
"Maybe if Obama stopped all this CIA drone nonsense and started playing more basketball, we wouldn't be having all these problems."
P.S. The Daily Currant is known to stretch and openly fabricate the truth... almost as much as the US government and the mainstream media. Only the Currant's approach is at least known and appreciated by all.

Blacks critical of Obama? Could Rodman develop cancer very, very soon?
Probably AIDS to keep it looking realistic.
My guess is that without the current ability to minaturize a nuclear warhead for an ICBM attack on the U.S., Lil' Kim is going to use Rodman as the delivery device.
I mean after all... who really wants to check out what's inside The Worms carry-on baggage?
Currant is just like the Onion, ladies & gentlemen. It's snark..
Edit - too late.
And with that too late edit, here's some Friday Afternoon Humor from TIS (not ZH):
(The hilarity really picks up if you skip to 43:56 where Krugman literally states Japan has no "real" problem with 200%+ debt-to-GDP ratio and I SWEAR ON ALL THAT IS HOLY HE'D SAY EXACTLY THE SAME THING IF IT HAD A 8000% DEBT-TO-GDP RATIO [Japan's actual debt-to-GDP is MAGNITUDES higher than that 220% bullshit figure, as a post scipt]; THERE IS NO LEVEL TOO HIGH!!!):

Caution: Ensuing Hilarity Ahead
Gotta’ love them Solaxiants.. always getting into mischief.
They need to work on the disguises, though.

Who is Dennis Rodman?
I call bullshit on this story. They are pulling an Onion.
Hence the P.S.
I like this one:
Ann Coulter Refuses to Board Airplane With Black Pilot
The Coulter piece was excellent.
If you read the comments you will discover that Ann is not the butt of that joke.
I like this comment:
How do you like the archipelago of Marxist indoctrination centers known as our university system.? When Affirmative action is abolished, then we can lament people feeling as Ann does. Until then, she is right.
I'm going to use the term "archipelago of Marxist indoctination" someday.
Universities.. scattered islands/centers of Marxist indoctrination.. spot on.
But that commenter too, thinks the distortion in the joke is about is about affirmative action.. it’s not.
Coulter, of course is vehemently against the overreach that it became, but the joke is about the popular acceptance of the liberal/media enforced meme that she is a vile bigot and racist.
That is not the case and I don’t believe that anyone can find anything to support that notion unless they misconstrue her arguments of perceived injustice with bigotry.
That absurd parody revealed a lot of prejudice and racism and it was all in the responses.
An 'American' able to do without racism?
That would be a sight to see.
Or a story to read.
Wont happen though since 'american' nature is eternal.
Makes AnAnonymous a good 'american'.
Actually, wen I said I liked the comment, I meant I thought it was retarded.
she/he doesnt have a butt
Judging by the number of black female commercial pilots i've seen (0), affirmative action is not a factor. Ann could simply be worried about meeting her maker.
You're way too kind.
But I guess it's all in the etiquette... "a question of etiquette - as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch?"
-Fight Club
PS Doesn't anybody around here do their own bloody research or read complete articles? Like why in God's name do people not know this, from the Currant, is humor when just yesterday we'd already gone through the very same thing? Fuck!
When I realize articles are bullshit I stop reading them :)
That's what I thought when I read Lanny Bruer and Jr. Dick Holder had decided not to prosecute Wall Street for criminal activity...
Bullshit or not. At least DRod isnt being fooled by whats going on. Hes probably more safe over there than here with the Drones which are programmed to 'get rid of trash' like him.
Umm... I think you took the wrong pill today.
In similiar news, William Perry scheduled as a pallbearer for Hugo Chavez.
There are PLENTY of blacks criticial of Obama, but you'd have to talk to a negro to find that out.
Most spectacularly among black critics of Obama, America's most famous black preacher, Louis Farrakhan
Amazing intensity as Farrakhan shouts:
« That's a MURDERER in the White House! Who will say It? I will! ... »

dennis rodman, the new jane fonda of the western world.......................
An absolute classic:
"Yeah, I heard in the media that maybe he's killed thousands in death camps," Rodman explained,"But how do we know that's true? This is the same media that told us that Pol Pot and Stalin killed millions, and everyone knows that was just CIA propaganda right?
Tell that to the survivors you fucking moron. Fron RT no less: http://rt.com/news/stalins-death-camp-survivors-shed-light-on-gulag/
Turd, you dumbshit.
Stick to your piss poor forecasting on your own echo chamber gulag website
Turd's post reminds me of one of my favorite sites, Literally Unbelievable.
http://literallyunbelievable.org/
And that reminds me why I'm so glad I dumped Facebook three years ago...
While I'm no fan of any politico, I gotta give Stephen Chu mad props for mastering the art form known as snark. It's not often you see something so well played.
http://literallyunbelievable.org/post/42752646666/i-just-want-everyone-t...
You and I laugh, but to Herr Dr. Prof. Paul Krugman this is nothing short of.................BRILLIANT!
http://literallyunbelievable.org/post/37637165458/really
Don't be so hard on the Turd. it is nice to see him around here once in a while.
He makes me crave a peak at Jim Sinclair's site and a frozen yogurt.
Cortez - you are a nobody.
Your ramblings are even ignored on this hot mess of a forum, which is a shocking achievement from one so young.
Forever alone.
Thanks Turd for your "incredible insight" into geopolitical false flags/propaganda....all of us know the CIA would never do a psyops on its own citizens. Now go back to your neocon love nest...sarcasm off
So you are saying there were no such things as /stalinist gulags. Stalins shenanigans were all CIA mindcontrol huh. Wow.
The ramblings from the basement dwellers on ZH just get better by the day. That tinfoil hat needs adjusting again you mouthbreathing, paranoid dickeater.
LOL, so says the 8 week ZH troll.
Get fucked loser. You couldnt carry kliguys jockstrap.
It is a satirical site. Dennis Rodman did not say that. Easy on the righteous indignation, Turd.
Ssssshhhhh!!!!!
You'll spoil everything!
Yes but how many of the posts above actually believe that Stalin/PolPot/Che/Hitler were all simple creations of the evil CIA? Oh and the Jews too. I forgot..it's all the fault of the Jews.
So kiss my ass. Call me all the names you want, I don't care. I was here at ZH when most of you were still kicking around Yahoo Finance, sucking each other's dicks. No wonder nobody reads the comments here anymore. Three years ago, they were fantastic and full of insight. Nowadays, satire and sarcasm are passed off as wit and genuine insight has been replaced by bullshit.
Tyler and crew are still the best and the ZH homepage remains the #1 spot for honest, financial news. On balance, the rest of you add nothing.
Signing off. Feel free to flame away.
No flame here. Hi Turd!
I was kind to you. I just pointed out that Dennis Rodman did not say what offended you so much. It was all made up - so why take offense at that?
The more you talk, the more you embarrass yourself.
Stalin/PolPot/Che/Hitler were all simple creations of the evil CIA?
BTW, putting Che with Stalin, Hitler and PolPot is such a brilliant insight - and so wrong. Yes, I come to ZH for the comedy too, unintentional though it may be in your case.
Moreover, Stalin and Hitler existed well before the CIA was created. Che was assassinated by the CIA. So Che was destroyed by the CIA, not created by the CIA.
Keep the comedy coming.
P.S. I like your website and some of your podcasts are superb.
Now that is one angry turd.
I've been here for a while. Was following for a while before I started jumping in. It takes mental fortitude to stick around here day after day. There are some people who went away that I wish did not, and a lot that I am glad did. On balance most people on here are good. Turd did his best to make a name for himself by using this site to drive traffic to his own bullshit. Now he comes on here and dishes insults? Fuck off dude.
Less than sophomoric.
More like grade school IQ quotient.
I agree with Turd. I have followed "the" Tyler since the seekingalpha days to here, where I started reading a guys intelligent take on things, by the name of Turd F. Those days were fertile with constructive comments.
Now, mostly all you get around here in the comment section, are a-holes speaking through their a-holes!
I'm gone. Bub By! OutLookinIn has left the site.
Bye turd (again).
Turds like a good shit,everyone needs one once in awhile but then it needs flushed.
On balance, the rest of you add nothing.
Hey! Fuck you, Turd, that post I put up the other day was FUNNY.
"Tyler and crew are still the best and the ZH homepage remains the #1 spot for honest, financial news. On balance, the rest of you add nothing."
you didn't even get that the topic was a snark and you run a site? i chuckle.
sorry turd, average intelligence and ignorance cannot survive the zh comments section. this is not a cult, no one has to agree with anyone. if you talk rubbish, rest assured that that rubbish will be put back into your mouth. just ask ilene, what she's been getting lately,
i like it this way. reality taught in a harsh cruel way. but so is life out there. i got junked to hell just for asking if qaddafi really asked for gold against his oil. do i complain and leave the scene? no. i stay and learn.
i am not looking for the cozy family atmosphere here. i want the deep-cutting-knife of naked reality. heck, i find the comments section more useful than the articles themselves. no offense, tyler.
i'm lovin it :-))
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVogvCi4w4g
Didn't the Daily Currant float that Krugman bankruptcy rumor?
Kind of sounds like Rodman though...
Yes they did.
I'd like to think that people wouldn't fall for such obvious nonsense.
But then again, Poe's Law is seemingly infallible.
And as pointed out yesterday, several other sites picked it up and reported it... as if it were real!
Just hope that dwarf misanthrope for at least a moment, was mortified that he'd been called out to his readership.
LOL
Fuck you, Paul
The sad thing about it? The second sentence about "failing to spend one's way out of debt" was a dead giveaway.
Or was that the funny thing about it? o_O
*scratches butt*
*sniffs finger*
*flings poo*
When the team loses Rodman will get firsthand experience with the death camps.
Rodman will be really pissed when they raise the hoop if they feel loosing the game.
Sean Penn and Dennis Rodman as ambassadors, a tax cheat as treasury secretary, what's the US becoming? Italy?
The US is an 'american' nation. As such, it remains the same.
Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson as ambassadors, Alexander Hamilton as the secretary of treasury.
See, the same, always the same, from day one.
'American' nature is eternal.
classic! so real and true!
Who else can lay claim to being in bed with Carmen Elektra AND Kim Jung? Rodman's got balls!
OT - but would someone please put Steve LIESman in a straightjacket with a gag ball and beat him with pink slips and print out's of the national debt?
You think that doesn't happen already?
Does he make cologne?
Why does congressman Hank ( capsize Guam ) Johnson always come to mind in these situations ? I guess it IS the new abnormal !!
Who gives a rats ass what Rodman says or does. It's a waste of everyone's time
Oh well, we can after all appreciate him as an object of humorous scorn and ridicule for our self-centered enjoyment, along with Paul Krugman.
Isn't Dennis Rodman black?
He's black... AND a tranny :
http://freddyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/dennis-rodman-in-costume.jpg
And which man is more powerfull?
are Kim's rockets just zone defense?
I hear his 50-40-90 club refers to something completely different...and kinda gross
his amoeba defense is literal
free throws are outlawed
full-court press is a prosecution term
Hack a shaq is a housing project
Mikan Drill - is an interrogation technique...with a radish
hot-hand fallacy - well you don't wanna know
ball boy - that's the only one that has the same meaning in our congressional halls
and
crooked zebra - was dad's favorite cognac
Maybe Dong Nun can hire the gay pope too. Start a new cult church and preach that Jesus was always gay and instead of breaking bread he smoked crack with his gay deciples and they all had gay sex on Good Friday. That will definitely lift the sanctions.
The gay Pope article was hilarious.
Besides, who else but a gay man would wear those outlandish red shoes?
At least he didn't arm, train and finance Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, two of the biggest mass murderers in history, like his home country did.
So, put it in perspective.
The first nuclear Pyongyang drone will distract China from the continuing theft of African commodities.
Sucks when someone else steals all the shit before you do.
Chinese will have to up their game. They might have to hire a coack to learn them the way.
'Americans' are already on the ground, stealing as only 'americans' know how.
Either the chinese turn 'american' and in this case, they might stand a chance.
Or they dont. And it is a no match. They will wake up wondering how they managed to steal so little when 'americans' managed to steal so much in the same time.
the absurdity of this story is that if the korean guy's net surfers come across this story he is probably thinking it is a great idea(complete with the hundred korean girls) and has contacted rodman already or rodman may have seen it and is contacting kim as we speak to negoyiate a contract(with the hundred girls included).
Could you imagine coaching an entire team through an interpreter? Better yet, could you imagine being the interpreter who had to translate Rodman?
bobby valentine did it in japan. rodman may need a special ebonics translator to teach all the street slang and the walk. it would be kinda cool if they took the court with piercings, tats and colored hair.
The takeaway of this story is that with Rodman, the North Koreans may be able to rebound - but they still can't shoot and while they gain some hustle on defense they will be spotty at best.
Everyone tends to seek answers in the thing they do and understand best. The Fed prints money, the government spends money, and Rodman plays basketball. It all makes perfect sense.
Love to see Rodman in a white wedding dress standing with the North Korean military big wigs.
Jeff Dunham has his next Vegas puppet show? He will make bazilians of $s.
I can't wait to see those two meatballs on SouthPark in a couple of weeks.
I would rather converse with a "Fruit Bat" then deal with dEnIss RoDmaN.
What dictator wouldn't love to have Rodman as their wingman?
In a Dan Quayle sort of way.
Only Rodman could go to North Korea - another Old Klingon Proverb
In North Korea grass constitutes breakfast, lunch and dinner...
There's some absurdity for you yet sadly true...
DPRK is number one in smegma farming.
What a fucking ignorant asshole Rodman is... deport him to NKorea if he likes it this much.
Stalin and Pol Pot never killed anyone? LOL??
And the ``justice`` system of North Korea is the same thing as the US justice system of due process?? LOL??
Is this guy a troll or what?
You shouldn't call Tyler names like that. It's Friday, after all.
Perhaps you should have one of Lootie's Heinikens? ;-)
;-) ditto.
You can buy a lot of things but a sense of humor obviously isn't one. You may need another acronym.
Is it wrong of me to assume people who don't get satire are fucking morons, or is it some other reason?
Emo bitchez.
Perhaps they're just raising the satire-level too high for you, but when in doubt, you should ALWAYS bet on moronism.
+1 for "Emo bitchez".
Obama: I see your Rodman and raise you a Krugman
Americans engaged in combat* in the US can and will be blown up by remote controlled US airplanes,.........flown by alien military recruits.
Nobody is talking about or even mentioned the fact that while the US is laying off American troops it's simultaneously recruiting foreigners from occupied and enemy alien nations to join our military and NASA.
* the assanation charter wasn't limited to "actively engaged in combat", its not even defined.
"terrorist" isn't defined, none of these laws are concise enough to be legal, we can't allow laws which say "you're guilty if we say you're guilty" and "if we say you're guilty we have the right to drone your ass".
recruiting foreigners
No...not FOREIGNERS--they meant SPACEMEN.
The extra limbs and suction-cup tentacletips give them far better drone-piloting skills.
Was Dennis from NYC?
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/03/07/NYC-80-percent-read
Another statist illusion destroyed by reality...
In other news, where are the US aircraft carriers battlegroup?? Wouldn't be interesting to know since NKorea has pledge to start a war monday if the war drills kick off (which they will)?
What's Rodman doing with that gagnam style guy?
New video?
Rodman is the new Nixon - breaking the ice in the mysterious Orient. : - )
According to one of the tinfoil sites I sometimes peruse,
he is there to deliver a dose of "Chavez Cancer" to li'l kimmie.
Hey DR, you need a 12" BP and don't British Petro. Yours should be made of ground up bones of murdered North Koreans by PJ Boy's son.
Man, Kim Jong-un needs to cut down on the bulgogi... Lookin' a little porky, there.
Call me humourless, but as much as I tried to find it funny, the "satire" left a bad taste in my gob.
It's designed to belittle anyone who does not subscribe to CIA propaganda by presenting any critics of the government as an obviously ignorant fantasist like this caricature of Rodman here. I've seen this before from Israelis who pretend to be outrageous christian bigots from Texas posting horrible filth against their own people in order to equate critics of Israel with rabid antisemetic nutjobs. Borat, a vile antisemetic character created by a Jewish chap is a good example. Thanks to these antics, anyone who sympathises with the suffering of palestinians under Israeli military occupation can be expected to be called an antisemetic nazi, arrested, and banned in many places.
I'm sorry to be a killjoy, but don't be surprised if the next time you express doubt about a government policy/ agency statement, some wag says, "Who are you? Dennis Rodman?" and tells you to fuck off to North Korea. Maybe I just need a couple of stiff drinks tonight before I find it amusing.
It's all interpretation. Maybe the "satirist" intended people to take this as an indication of how absurd the USian smear campaign against North Korea is. If you took it that seriously, you already missed the point.
(I didn't find it funny myself, but I tend toward a darker sense of humor. Just to say: walking that line between irony and sincerity has always been the tricky bit when it comes to comedy.)
Thanks mate. So basically it could be about ridiculing the ridiculing (Ridiculers?) of Rodman. That missed my funny bones by the margin used to measure the distance between galaxies.
Yep. I'm going out for those drinks I mentioned earlier. Perhaps Heinlein got it right when he described humour as one of the most complex and irrational behaviors in man, condensed into something we do when it hurts too much to bear.
My post earlier was merely ridiculing the ridiculing of the ridiculing of Rodman. Wait. There should be four ridiculings to make sense, I think.....
- Hope that brought a smile to somebody's face.
Now *I'm* offended!
Nothing is serious in 'americanism'. Save murder and resources...
If you're implying that *I'm* an Americanist, you can fuck right off. But if you want to be taken seriously, I'd suggest you find a better schtick.
Pig Fucker meet Pig
After all, he was married to Madonna so He Know Pig!
i'm distracted and confused too, but i have no tats
and am no more than a pedestrian on the basketball court,
oh well, i suppose all is not totally lost but you never know.

Fuck niggerball. I'm never going to get back those wasted hours watching meaningless game after game.
Where's the check? Where is that vital information to delineate that 'american''s behaviour?
Would not be a surprise to learn that this guy might have some financial troubles and is running after a good check.
His story about the US american government, the CIA might be cheap propaganda to hide the fact he is chasing USD notes.
'Americans' are duplicitous: this 'american' guy wont tell if he goes in NK in order to rake in some easy money 'american' way. Dont expect 'americans' to state plainly what they are doing: they are too much addicted to propaganda.
The very fact that this 'american' guy speaks about peace is so telling.
Bringing peace through sports? Djeee, watch out, you might discover that this 'american' was a basher type when on the pitch.
Just as you might discover that Lance "Where's the syringe?"Armstrong was a strong drug addict who claimed he got his results through hard work and dedication.

Djeee, ever think to apply reading comprehension before croaking more drivel?
Vocabulary assignment to you for today. Look up in dictionary the meanings and usage of three words: lampoon, parody, satire.
A few years ago N Korea sabre rattling would drive the stock market down, and T Bills up. N Korea's elite, and their NY bankers, would make a killing 1-2 times every year by doing this. The game is over. The kid needs to come up with a new trick. Give it time. The NY bankers will always come up with a new trick...
Considering the Korean North / South hot line has been cut, and diplomatic channels closed; Rodman may be the last unofficial diplomat the West has that can speak to Kim directly.
Given the foreign policy blunders of the last 2 decades, this could be a bonus... ;-) Btw here is another article...enjoy Krugman tries to spend his way out of debt; Declares bankrupcy http://dailycurrant.com/2013/03/06/paul-krugman-declares-personal-bankru...
I don't see the big to-do. It's a pic of Rodman with Maggie Cho, for chrissake.
