Another case of under-cover PR at YouTube?

Clip showing a young woman in her knickers playing the new Wii Fit hula hoop game has been faked on behalf of Nintendo. The UK Telegraph and LA Times have been talking about this online video, showing at YouTube and has gotten over 500.000 views, when last reported. The guy that created it Giovanny Gutierrez has said that even though he works at an advertising firm, the video was not a viral ad for Wii. Nintendo is denaying all links to the guy. I don’t know this smells funky.

Go to YouTube and look for “Wii Fit – Why You Should Buy It For Your Girlfriend”
