    A strange, strange man has been showing up on morning shows throughout the Midwest, claiming to be a yo-yo trick champion. He is not. He is actually terrible at yo-yo. Yet he keeps getting on the air.

    Little is known about "K-Strass," who goes by Kenny Strasser, or sometimes Karl Strassburg. He claims to be from Wisconsin (except when he doesn't). He claims to be from a broken home, with his own addiction issues (except when he isn't).

    All we know is that K-Strass has shown up on television six times in the past month, showing off his yo-yo "skills" and generally embarrassing the hosts.

    What a clown. Kinda funny to see him act like a fool, but I felt embarrassed for the hosts.

    That is kind of sad that none of those news channels do any basic fact checking. It makes your wonder about the stories they report.

    Was I the only one who thought this guy has some sort of condition? I get the feeling that he really believes that he is a yo-yo master and is totally schizo.

    This is why we see stories like a man hasn't eaten in 15 years.

    It's not news if it does not apply to me.

    I hope this dude continues his comedy career elsewhere. He is incredible.

    Reminds me of Andy Kaufman.
