Burglar Has Fetish for
Slashing Exercise BallsMan slashes rubber balls to satisfy
sexual urgePublished : Friday, 17 Jul 2009
DULUTH, Minn. - Duluth police are looking for a man suspected of breaking into fitness centers to satisfy a sexual fetish for slashing rubber exercise balls.
Police have been seeking 31-year-old Christopher Bjerkness since surveillance tape
allegedly showed him breaking into a gym in May and slashing exercise balls.
Police are familiar with Bjerkness. A criminal complaint released Thursday says he was convicted in 2005 of breaking into a sports facility at the University of Minnesota in Duluth and slashing about 70 exercise balls. Each ball cost between $30 and $60.
The complaint says when Bjerkness pleaded guilty in that case, he admitted slashing more than 40 other balls at two gyms.
Court documents say Bjerkness told police he slashed the rubber balls to satisfy a sexual urge. Experts said he has an unusual attraction to inflatable exercise devices.

As travelling circus troupes go, the motley collective that pulled into Exeter railway station on 14 June 2002 takes some beating. It had been assembled by notorious cutlery-bothering psychic Uri Geller, then co-chairman of the local football club, Exeter City, and boasted some stellar names: the hungry, box-dwelling, pole-balancer David Blaine; the soul diva Patti Boulaye; and, at the top of the bill, the world-famous Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.
They were to star at an event that Geller was staging to raise money for the cash-strapped City. Jacko agreed to help out his friend on the condition that the Exeter chairman brought along some "sick kids from hospitals" and gave half of the money raised to "children with Aids". Geller shook on it, and so, after Boulaye belted out a gospel number and Blaine shuffled a pack of cards with laboured insouciance, Jackson took to a pitchside stage at City's dilapidated St James Park ground.
"Hello to you wonderful people of Exeter," he began, so timidly it would make his faltering oratory in the Martin Bashir interviews sound like Nixon taking on Frost. "We come here to support children with Aids," he went on, "and help the people of Africa find a solution against the spread of HIV." Then, with the unimpeachable logic of a man who had just vowed to stamp out a pandemic, he threw in an afterthought for good measure: "And malaria!"
With a 10,000-strong crowd cheering him on, Jackson delivered his piece de resistance. Ordering everyone in the ground to hold each hands, he simpered: "I mean it! Right now! Go ahead! Don't be shy. Do it! Do it! Now, tell the person next to you that you care for them. Tell them that you love them. This is what makes the difference! Together we can make a change of the world. Together we can help to stop racism. Together we can help to stop prejudice. We can help the world live without fear. It's our only hope! Without hope we are lost! I see Israel!!! I see Spain!"
It was at this point that someone asked Jackson whether England would give Denmark a right old shoeing in the second round of the World Cup the following day. "England is gonna win, yeah?" said a giggling Jacko.
And, of course, he was right: England ran out 3-0 winners. Which means that, with a 100% success rate, Michael Jackson was – and is likely to be for all time – the greatest football pundit the world has ever known.

Michael Jackson
As the world gathered to mourn and pay tribute to Michael Jackson on Tuesday (July 7), fans were given one more chance to grab a piece of the singer's legacy.
Just a week before Jackson was slated to kick off his 50-date This Is It concert series at the O2 Arena in London, the merchandise that would have accompanied his attempted return to form went up for sale online.
For sale are dozens of items, including shirts, hats, belt buckles, tote bags and mugs that were reportedly selected and personally approved by Jackson. The T-shirts bear classic images of Jackson in his heyday: posing in his signature black suit, white glove and black fedora; balancing on his toes in front of the moon; looking serious as a pre-teen; and showing off his glittery fashions in later years. There are also official This Is It shirts, featuring Jackson dancing in front of a microphone. The hat styles include a trucker cap with a spray painted "Who's Bad" insignia and a Ed Hardy-style cap with roses flanked by the words "This Is It" and "King of Pop" on the brim. Among the eight belt buckles are images from throughout Jackson's solo career, from the Off the Wall cover shot to a Thriller montage, the Bad cover and a commemorative O2 edition.
And, for just $20, you can now own your very own black Michael Jackson King of Pop socks, which come with Jackson's initials next to his famous self-appointed royal title. The concert merch is sure to join other items marking Jackson's final bow, such as the hard-to-get tickets for Tuesday's Staples Center memorial, bootleg items being hawked by street vendors and the keepsake tickets for the O2 run being offered by concert promoter AEG Live. To date, AEG boss Randy Phillips said that nearly 50 percent of the one million fans who've responded to the company's ticket refund offer have opted to receive the Jackson-approved commemorative ticket instead of their money back.
