Fake Yo-Yo guy

This is a pretty funny story, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentential says this guy has been on live TV five times in recent weeks.

Apparently he approaches stations, claims he is a yo-yo champ and then they put him on the air and he basically swings them around until he falls over.

Quote:

"He got us," said Bridget Blevins, [KQTV] news director. "I hate that we got duped."

And how good was he with the yo-yo, a skill Strasser has said made him a champion? "He did some really lame things. He hit himself in the face and the groin with his yo-yo," Blevins said.

Lisa Malak, who anchors the "Sunday Morning" show on WFRV in Green Bay, thought it would be fun to book somebody who said he was a yo-yo champion. When Strasser showed up April 11, he said he forgot the string for his yo-yo. With no tricks, Malak and Strasser spent their live TV segment talking.

"It was the most bizarre thing that has ever happened to me on the air," Malak said.
