I don't know anything about the site that your link goes to but I believe that the original satire piece was started by National Report which is a poor attempt at copying The Onion's success.
By the comments on both sites, you can see how gullible people really are!
The Rodman report was published on National Report, which only posts satire.
“With only a handful of reporters present on Tuesday at the Los Angeles International Airport, Dennis Rodman announced his intentions to leave the United States to speak with leaders of ISIS face to face,” it reads.
The article then includes fake quotes from Rodman.
The National Report appears to be lampooning Rodman’s trip to North Korea a few months ago, where he met with its leader Kim Jong Un and played basketball.
The Rodman article had thousands of “likes” and shares as of Tuesday evening. On social media sites, many users appeared to believe the report or were confused.
I wasn't meaning for my responses to appear as if I were attacking you in some way.
I wasn't.
It has become really difficult to distinguish satire from reality .. not only in the real world but also on these so-called news sites!
I knew the piece was satire simply because I know what National Review is all about and I read the article there first.
Believe me, if I didn't know that National Review was a crappy satirical site .. I could believe that the idiot known as Rodman could do what was posted!

What is he thinking? Well maybe his old friend in Korea will bail him out when ISIS threatens to behead him.
I doubt they could get their knives or axes through all the piercings and metal.
