Origin

Lauren Bernat is an advertising account executive from Florida who became famous as the “Wii Fit Girl” after her boyfriend Giovanny Gutierrez uploaded a video of her playing the hulu hoop game in a t-shirt and panties. The clip quickly amassed over eight million views, countless spinoffs, and the pair made national headlines on print & TV. Vid was uploaded in May 2008.

The video has been accused of being a planted ad campaign for Nintendo, particularly as it was uploaded under an account called “tinsleyadvertising”. The couple deny the claim and no evidence of an actual connection to Nintendo has surfaced.

It is a meme. There is a great amount of girls/boys making videos inspired by the initial one.
I also wonder if this video has launched that “trend” of sexy girls playing with video games (and especially wii fit).
But, because of the link to a playboy topless girl, this needs to be flagged NSFW.

Not really a meme, just an excuse for a sub-par looking chick to become an internet celebrity, and make some money (purpose achieved)

It may be easier to just have a tag or category for popular forced bullshit (this, album covers, etc) that are not a meme.

I see derivatives of this on Digg at least once a day. I think it’s more of a pop-culture reference than a meme.

Same. I really don’t think this should be considered a meme at all, mainly because I haven’t seen this vid since the day it was posted.

I remember seeing this on i-am-bored.com, although I haven’t seen any of the spin-offs. Hmm.

First parody. Why every girl should buy it for their boyfriend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwEw6f2wtwc There are hundreds more http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=why+every+guy+should+buy+wii+fit&aq=4

How does the saying go: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? Well, on June 13, 2008, Playboy decided to get a piece of the Wii Fit Hula Girl action by posting a video of their 2008 Playboy Cyber Girl of the Year, Jo Garcia, demoing the Wii Fit. More including video: (http://laurenbernat.com/2008/06/playboy-the-ultimate-form-of-flattery/)

It was also a joke on Spike TV’s video game award with the Wii Fit Girl in the opening show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgQMkOdREPc

Meh, I’ve never personally heard of it, or seen spin-offs of it, but that’s just me.

But yeah, that info should have been included with the entry. Sorry if I sounded rash, I was a little pissed that day. =D

Definitely a huge viral vid with a good # of spinoffs — Playboy etc.

Think it’s worth posting as long as we explain that, and present some of the controversy about if it was a plant/Nintendo ad/etc.
