I've been duped!



So the super depressing yo-yo guy, K-Strass is actually a total fraud. We covered him here at Superbeast last week. Apparently he's been fooling TV news shows all over the midwest.

From Deadspin:

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 Kenny 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.


This man of mystery just upped his street cred with Superbeast 3-fold. What an awesome life this guy has. He's just gonna dress up in his suspenders and go on TV and make an ass of himself. That's a good gig if you can get it.

I'm convinced this guy is working for a company like College Humor, or TV Carnage.
