It’s weird how your boyfriend, the channel 7 affiliate for the Sugarcreek Township area’s news team, is so insistent on broadcasting footage of dudes who are at worst mildly confused exhibitionists. Take, for example, your boyfriend’s recent report on a man who was arrested for wearing a woman’s bathing suit. Really? He wasn’t even wearing a bikini, but rather a tasteful, unrevealing one piece bathing suit. Whether or not it was appropriate for your ex-boyfriend, the Sugarcreek Township Police, to arrest him for what feels like a pretty harmless “crime” is another discussion altogether. There are some reports that the man was harassing young women, and that is not cool. But if that is the case the man is probably in need of some professional help. From doctors. And it definitely seems like your current boyfriend, the channel 7 affiliate for the Sugarcreek Township area’s news team, could have done without the SLOW MOTION reveal of the man’s stuffed chest exit from a police cruiser. One does not get the sense that your boyfriend’s behavior in any way makes the community safer from a dangerous criminal, and that it was much more an act of lazy ha-ha journalism that preys off of the suffering of others to build a sensationalistic piece of non news. The interview with a random dude who reinforced “what we’ve all been thinking,” that the world is a “safer place” now that a lonely man with slightly unorthodox taste in swimwear is behind bars and publicly humiliated via this miserable fucking joke of a news network, was a nice touch. I hope he catches lots of fish!

Seriously, you should talk to your boyfriend about this. He’s kind of a dick. (Via BuzzFeed.)

  1. Jon Bergstrom: Officially qualified to comment on story cause he was standing there while the news team was taking B-roll.

  2. It got me upset when I realized he was on his own property.

  3. I like how the title of the video says “update”. Thank God the cops got a hold of the crossdressing menace. I can now sleep peacefully.

  4. That’s just great. He made people in small town America “feel uncomfortable.” So of course the next rational course of action is to lock him up with all the other people that make them feel “uncomfortable.” Do people of color and gays make them feel “uncomfortable,” too?

  5. You stay classy, Sugarcreek Township.

  6. Of course if it was a woman wearing a speedo and a muscle t-shirt, trying to “get a reaction” out of some men no one would bat an eyelash. AND ON HIS OWN PROPERTY.

  7. I’m confused… is he, or is he not, my current boyfriend?

  8. the “… anything happens these days” dude looks like he’s hiding a secret of his own, there. don’t know what; it’s just a feeling. he seems a bit uncomfortable in giving explanations for the freakish behavior uncovered by our boyfriend. i have a feeling he dodged a bullet, there. all thanks to the swimsuit guy.

  9. I didn’t realize making people feel “very uncomfortable” was a crime these days.

  10. Wait, who’s my boyfriend? The entire news team? Or the cross dresser? Or the brick-and-mortar Channel 7 News building? Or the broadcast company that owns Channel 7? Or the electromagnetic waves Channel 7 News travels? All of these things?

    I just need to know whom I’m giving a BJ tonight.

  11. everytime i’m uncomfortable – in any situation – i call the police.
    that’s what they’re here for, right? to come take care of my neighbor who mows his lawn in very short cutoffs? to deal with the people who say “hi” to me when i walk by, even though i’m clearly in no mood for that?
    no…that’s not what they do? sorry, guys.

  12. so wait, if i call the police and say that some guy who likes to fish has been trying to get a reaction out of women, will they go to jon bergstrom’s house and arrest them? because that would be great.

  13. That’s not fair. By which I mean, he looks better in a swimsuit than I do.

    Also, balls to you, Channel 7 “News”.

    ahem…I don’t miss Dayton Ohio.

    and I used to work for newscenter 7.

  16. is that dwight schrute?

  17. You guys, he wasn’t arrested for wearing a ladeez swimsuit, he was arrested because he was harassing people. Frankly I would call the police too. Obviously the news network could have refrained from using language like “bathing beauty” but it’s not like this is a case for the ACLU or anything.

    Btw: a swimsuit stuffed with swimsuits? Metaswimsuit! Infinitely recurring swimsuit!

  18. As far as journalism, this is kind of like this decade’s version of the release of the pentagon papers. By which I mean, no it’s not.

  19. Sugarcreek. Heh heh.

  20. Thats what happens when music videos like “Somebodys Daughter” get weird dudes to put their hands on something else rather than porn

    I wonder if the reaction would have been the same had he been wearing leg-warmers and performing a lively number from “Footloose”.

    THATS IT. “Footloose” was based on Sugarcreek Township? Except for outlawing dancing they outlawed uncomfortably clingy swimsuits. It all makes sense now.
