A vid of a girl hula hooping whilst playing the Wii Fit has got two million hits on YouTube and the figure rising.

But is it all just a Nintendo viral?

The video was allegedly captured by Giovanny Gutierrez of his girlfriend in her pants, with the comment: "This is why I love Wii Fit. 'Nuff said'".

Gutierrez claims that his girlf, 25-year-old Lauren Bernat, was completely unawares that she was being filmed.

"She loves Wii Fit — and even more, looks hot doing it."

"She was furious and called me on the phone screaming her head off and then hung up on me."

"But now finds herself actually laughing about it and enjoying her 15 minutes of fame", he says.

But conspiracy theories are already leaping up on blogs worldwide.

Gutierrez, 30, claims the vid is nothing to do with Nintendo, and so does the gaming giant.

But journos have found out that the sneaky videographer works as director of interactive media for Tinsley Advertising in Miami, Florida.

And his girlfriend works in advertising too.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.
