Apparently, some EB shopper recognized Lauren Bernat, the infamous "
Wii Fit Girl," who has gone on to some media success after being humilated on YouTube, and asked her to sign a
Wii Fit box that he just ... happened ... to have. Okay, it's a dubious story -- even if we assume that he just happened to be buying
Wii Fit at the time, it's unlikely in the first place that he was able to walk into a store and purchase
Wii Fit.But however it happened, the meeting occurred and the
Wii Fit box was signed. The next step was what anyone would have expected to happen: eBay. At a current bid of $165, that's actually not far off the normal eBay price for
Wii Fit. [Via

i'm not being a prig here, i'm simply being honest...she's much more compelling from behind than from the front.

I imagine that if I saw/recognized her, I'd ask her to sign every copy of the game they had in stock. Then I'd go to the Wal-Mart that is inevitably next door and make her sign all of theirs, too.
Oh, yeah, he probably did that.

I actually walked into a Best Buy last Wednesday and got a Wii Fit. The cool thing is, I did the exact same thing one year earlier and got a Wii. I know it was the same day because it was my birthday!

Pssh. Lucky.
It took me WEEKS to get my Wii. I called every Gamestop, EB Games, Best Buy, and Walmart within thirty minutes of my house on a daily basis.

She's so embarrassed that she does TV apperances.
Ya, right.
