			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/06/wiiFit.jpg" class="postimg left"/>Those naughty librarian eyeglasses might say say yes-yes, but a New York City woman says, no-no, they&#8217;re not hers. You see, there&#8217;s Lauren Bernat, aka <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v31qxrXsxv0">Wii Fit Girl</a>, who hulaed her way to 2 million YouTube views about three weeks ago, and then <a href="http://www.kotaku.com.au/games/2008/06/_nintendo_denies_connection_to_wii_fit_arse_vid_-2.html">vowed it was not a viral marketing scheme</a>. And then there&#8217;s Lauren Bernat, mild-mannered librarian, who&#8217;s been deluged with Facebook requests from <s>cretinous pic collectors</s> admirers who&#8217;d like to better know Wii Fit Girl. Non-Wii Fit Lauren wants everyone to know she&#8217;s trying to get a job, and the attention isn&#8217;t good for that.</p>
<p>Librarian Lauren says she does resemble Wii Fit Girl Lauren, enough that an employer who Googles her might have second thoughts about her temperament for a serious job. &#8220;If someone has my business card, and doesn&#8217;t know what I look like, and they Google me, it looks like it&#8217;s me, and that&#8217;s my whole career down the tubes&#8221;, she said.</p>
<p><span id="more-293496"></span>
<p>She says she contacted Web sites writing about the Wii Fit Girl craze and asked them to remove her name, which is kind of problematic as &#8220;Lauren Bernat&#8221; is in fact the name of the 25-year-old marketer whose arse starred in the original video. So there&#8217;s little that Librarian Lauren can do. Except, of course, challenge Marketer Lauren to a Wii Fit Off. And I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s all part of the plan here, too. </p>
<p><em>For the record, <a href="http://www.g4tv.com/attackoftheshow/aroundthenet/61636/Wii-Fit-Girl-GTA-DUI.html">GTA: DUI hammered Wii Fit Girl</a> for top viral video on G4&#8217;s &#8220;Around the Net&#8221; on May 28. And even though I appeared shirtless in it, so far no one named Owen Good has been subjected to any online harassment. Including me.</p>
<p>Dammit.</em></p>
