If any American has the power of persuasion over North Korea's defiant young ruler, it might be eccentric ex-basketball star Dennis Rodman.

So when Rodman digitally called for Kim Jong Un to release U.S. citizen Kenneth Bae, he may have a shot at a response.

"I'm calling on the Supreme Leader of North Korea or as I call him "Kim", to do me a solid and cut Kenneth Bae loose," Rodman tweeted.

Bae was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor last month after he was convicted of unspecified "hostile acts" against North Korea. The country's state-run Korean Central News Agency said the Korean-American was arrested November 3 after arriving as a tourist in Rason City, a northeastern port near the Chinese border.

3. What DID happen to North Korea?

Remember a couple of weeks back when that guy was threatening to launch missiles on the news like every 12 hours?

4. He probably got bored of "that" and went back to play his video games

11. Still sanctioned. We are still having war exercises on their border. They're still mad about that.

Our media got bored I guess.

5. Should a slam dunk for him. nt

6. Kenneth Bae has dual South Korean/American citizenship.

He was born in South Korea as Pae Jun Ho, and is a naturalized US citizen. I have yet to see a headline that screams, "South Korean Citizen Pae Jun Ho Sentenced in North Korea!" But I guess that wouldn't sell as many US newspapers, or justify more spending on a west coast missile shield.

7. worth a try, tell us what Kim says Dennis.

10. Agent K: Ok, let's put in a call to Dennis Rodman. He's from that planet.

Laurel Weaver: Rodman? You're kidding. Not much of a disguise ...

I just loved Men In Black.
