Bernat’s Wii Fit video watched 2 million times; Nintendo denies involvement

Despite her tushy being filmed without her consent and being watched over two million times on YouTube, it looks like Lauren Bernat’s enjoying herself now. Originally, she called him when she found out, “screamed her head off,” and hung up on him, but now says she likes the 15 minutes of fame and that she would have worn something cuter had she known.

On the other side of the issue, we’ve got a ton of people saying this was a viral ad by or for Nintendo. Lauren and her boyfriend, Giovanni Gutierrez, do work for a marketing company, but deny the claim. Nintendo has denied it as well.

“This has and is absolutely 100 per cent nothing to do with Nintendo. Nintendo did not create it and were not aware of it until it was brought it to our attention.”

I’m inclined to believe it, but people have their opinions. You can finally catch the clip after the break.
