Apparently Vice’s headline-grabbing journey to North Korea with former Bulls headline-grabber Dennis Rodman was initially designed as a journey with Rodman’s more dignified former teammate Michael Jordan. But Vice founder Shane Smith told the New York Times only that “Jordan wasn’t interested.” Smith considered Rodman an improvement to the stunt, though, telling the Times, “It fit right into our wheelhouse, because it’s absurd.” It sure was, but with Rodman planning a return visit, it’s also now just a thing that happens.
