Wii Fit girl was 'FURIOUS' at her boyfriend

03:48 PM PT, May 29 2008

Wiifitgirl After Giovanny Gutierrez recorded a lithe, undie-clad brunette playing the Wii Fit hula hoop game, the video scored a lightning-quick 500,000 views on YouTube, and racked up a monstrous 9,000 Diggs.

Gutierrez has said that even though he works at an advertising firm, the video wasn't a viral ad for Wii, even if it really should have been. 

No, it was just a surreptitious video of his girlfriend. "She loves Wii Fit — and even more," he wrote to me in an e-mail, she "looks hot doing it." 

How did she react when she found out that he'd posted the video without telling her, and that hundreds of thousands of Wii fans were now drooling over her? 

"She was FURIOUS," wrote Gutierrez, who said she "called me on the phone screaming her head off and then hung up on me."

"But now [she] finds herself actually laughing about it and enjoying her 15 minutes of fame."

Why stop at 15 minutes? Maybe she's got a future doing virtual underwear hula-hooping...
