Viral Video: Humpilates Hysterical

in News on March 2, 2011 at 8:46 am PT

This mock fitness video by late-night television talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is so funny that it made BoomTown do several spit-takes watching it. It is for a product called “Hottie Body Humpilates,” and includes a bevy of glam Hollywood actresses doing bad things to an exercise ball. Enough said.

It seems the churros have gone cold. According to a Microsoft spokesman, the ads were apparently just a warmup for more to come, as early as tomorrow, and though the new ones will not use Seinfeld in any significant way, they might still feature Gates.
