This guy, a "yo-yo master" & "green living spokesperson" came to do an interview at our station. He was there to speak about a toy company he represents, and their "go green" toys. Mainly, yoyo's. He claimed to be a Nat'l champion, and had 'certificates' to back up his claims of 'badassness'.

He proceeded to give the most amazing interview ever to be filmed...

Its worthless for me to explain what happened. Just watch.

If you dont like interviews, stick around for the end when he almost kills himself with a YoYo. Sometimes, I really love my job :p

Just a thought... do you think this may have been a Borat type prank? It's almost too bad to be believable. Either way, still funny as hell.

The only reference I could find to Karl Strassburg was on the zipzap toys website www.zipzapllc.com, which has a private domain registration. And their stated address is actually a Merrill Lynch office. Additionally, the real zip zap toys are adult sex toys--brilliant.

I think you've been had.

Yeah, really seemed like that to me too, just way too awkward for him to be serious.

i was gonna wait to tell people - but yes - this was an elaborate prank. "we got borat'd"

This guy has done this all over the country. Hes travels the country for his company. Apparently, he does this shit just for his own amusement.

I applaud him - takes a lot of balls to do something like this, and certainly shows one how to be proactive (to an extreme) to create their own fun.

I'll be right back with a few links to other stations hes been to - here -
