As I was watching that video on gonintendo.com, I refreshed the forums and this thread appeared. Weird.

Think while it's still legal.

I don't own a Wii, and it does not currently have more than 2 games I'm really interested in, but this video is just stupid.
1) It drags on for too long. 2) The video attempts to strike a balance between trying to be humorous and trying to seriously critique the game and/or the Wii. It ends up failing at both. 3) Indoor exercise and fitness routines are very repetitive in general. In comparison, this device and the 40 something minigames it has are downright varied in comparison. 4) You could make a similar video about every casual non-gamer's game ever made.

Same people that did this, which is much funnier.

They took an actual Nintendo trailer and did a new voiceover.

So, yes, Wii Fit is real.

Sorry for the lousy German

Show me. Wow you guys are tough to please. This video was posted on some GameFAQ PS3 board and they thought it was funny (I think the Wii board too).
