The Wii Fit Girl
July 16th, 2008
I covered this topic before on the weekly live show about one month ago but had no idea that it would grow to be one of the biggest memes this summer. As you can see, the video in question features a young woman, Lauren Bernat, and her boyfriend, Giovanni, and has reached millions of views in just one month, gaining national news coverage and landing Lauren on the popular MTV show, TRL. They are trying to figure out how to make money off of this, but so far have not been able to land a major deal. I will be keeping my eye on what’s next for this young couple.
